Wraparound extension in Peterhead
Wraparound extension in Peterhead: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Peterhead sits in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with postcode districts including AB42. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Peterhead?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Peterhead follows the Scottish householder rules.
Scottish householder rights treat the side part of a wraparound or side infill more strictly than a plain rear extension, so most need planning permission, and all need a building warrant.
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 Peterhead like to extend?
Peterhead has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts. In Peterhead we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Peterhead
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Peterhead?
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
