Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Perth?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a terraced house rear extension in Perth.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Perth like to extend?
Perth has sandstone tenements, terraced houses and villas closer in, with post-war semis and newer estates further out. Tenement and other flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
