Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Cambuslang?
Whether your single-storey rear extension in Cambuslang 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.
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 Cambuslang like to extend?
Cambuslang 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
Single-storey rear extension questions in Cambuslang
Do you handle building control in Cambuslang?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
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.
Is a flat roof or a pitched roof better?
A warm flat roof keeps the extension low under first-floor windows and suits a roof lantern; a pitched or lean-to roof gives a vaulted ceiling. Both last for decades when built properly.
How much does a single-storey rear extension cost in Cambuslang?
As a guide, £1,800–£2,940 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £21,500–£35,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Do I need a party wall agreement?

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.
