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

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Larkhall
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Larkhall?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
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.
Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
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.
