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