Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Ellon?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Ellon needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Party Wall Act. Work to shared walls is governed by property law and the title deeds, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing before work begins.
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 Ellon like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Ellon, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Ellon
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ellon house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Ellon?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
How do you keep the house clean?
Dust screens, floor protection and a single protected route through the house.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ellon?
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Ellon?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
