Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Blairgowrie and Rattray?
The planning route for a single-storey rear extension in Blairgowrie and Rattray is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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 Blairgowrie and Rattray like to extend?
