Terraced house rear extension in Nigg

We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Nigg. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.

We cover Nigg (AB10, AB11 and AB12) as part of our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire work. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Nigg?

Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Nigg follows the Scottish householder rules.

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. 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 Nigg like to extend?

Nigg 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.
