Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Viewpark?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a single-storey rear extension in Viewpark.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Viewpark like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Viewpark, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Viewpark
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Viewpark?
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 stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes. The noisiest, dustiest stage, removing the back wall, is kept to the final weeks and screened off. Most families set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Viewpark 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.
