Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Penicuik?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a wraparound extension in Penicuik.
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 Penicuik like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Penicuik, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
