Rear extension planning drawings in Viewpark
For homes in Viewpark, a rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Measured survey, design options, planning drawings and the application, handled for you. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Viewpark (G71, G72 and ML3) as part of our Lanarkshire work. Planning applications in Viewpark go to the local planning authority covering Viewpark, and we check its local design guidance for rear extensions before drawing.

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Viewpark?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension, or £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme. Planning and building warrant fees in Scotland are set nationally and by value of work; we confirm both before submitting. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Viewpark?
Whether your rear extension in Viewpark needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Scotland an extension of more than one storey is only permitted development (Class 1B) if no part is within 10 metres of any boundary and it is no higher than the existing house, so almost every two-storey rear extension needs planning permission and a building warrant.
Scottish councils aim to decide householder applications within two months; the building warrant runs alongside.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Viewpark like to extend?
Viewpark has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Viewpark
How long does a rear extension take to build in Viewpark?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can I see the design in 3D?
Yes; we produce simple 3D views so you can judge the size and light.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do you handle building control in Viewpark?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
