Semi-detached rear extension in Nigg
Semi-detached rear extension in Nigg: single or two-storey extensions for semi-detached houses, with side access and one party wall. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Nigg (AB10, AB11 and AB12) as part of our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire work. In Nigg we measure the attached neighbour's extension at the survey, because it often sets the sensible depth for yours.

Do you need planning permission for a semi-detached rear extension in Nigg?
The planning route for a semi-detached rear extension in Nigg 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. 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 Nigg like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Nigg, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
