Wraparound extension in Locharbriggs
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Locharbriggs and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Locharbriggs?
Whether your wraparound extension in Locharbriggs needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Locharbriggs like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Locharbriggs, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
