Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Alloa?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Alloa 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 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 Alloa like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Alloa, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Alloa
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.
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.
Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
Do you handle building control in Alloa?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Alloa?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
