Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Westhill?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Westhill follows the Scottish householder rules.
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.
There is no Party Wall Act in Scotland; neighbour matters are handled through the title deeds, common law and written agreement before work starts.
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 Westhill like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Westhill, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
