Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Nairn?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Nairn is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Nairn like to extend?
Traditional stone houses sit alongside modern bungalows and timber-frame homes around Nairn. A lighter, contrasting addition at the back often suits older stone houses better than trying to copy the walling.
