Single-storey rear extension in Scone
For homes in Scone, a single-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Scone is covered from our Perth and Kinross round, including PH1 and PH2. A depth of 3 to 4 metres keeps many single-storey rear extensions in Scone within permitted development, subject to the house's planning history.

Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Scone?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a single-storey rear extension in Scone.
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 Scone like to extend?
Scone 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 Scone
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Will the extension make the room behind it dark?
Not if it is designed well. Rooflights or a lantern over the old back room, and a wide opening into it, keep daylight reaching the middle of the house.
