Do you need planning permission for a semi-detached rear extension in Inverurie?
The planning route for a semi-detached rear extension in Inverurie is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 1A) covers many single-storey rear extensions, with a 3 metre eaves limit, a 4 metre height limit and, within 1 metre of a boundary, a depth limit of 3 metres for terraced houses or 4 metres for others. Conservation areas are excluded, and you need a building warrant whatever the planning position.
Scottish Class 1B rights for extensions of more than one storey need a 10 metre gap to every boundary, which few gardens have. Expect a planning application as well as a building warrant for a double-storey rear extension.
Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Inverurie like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Inverurie, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Semi-detached rear extension questions in Inverurie
Do you handle building control in Inverurie?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Inverurie?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
Can I match pebbledash or render?
Yes. Many semis are refinished with new render across the whole back elevation so old and new match.
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.
