Semi-detached rear extension in Dalserf

We cover Dalserf (ML8 and ML9) as part of our Lanarkshire work. In Dalserf 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 Dalserf?
Whether your semi-detached rear extension in Dalserf needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Dalserf like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Dalserf, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Semi-detached rear extension questions in Dalserf
Can you match the brick or stone on my Dalserf house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
What if my neighbour has already extended?
That can make a matching depth easier to justify. We measure theirs at the survey.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Dalserf?
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.
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.
