Wraparound extension in Bo'ness
For homes in Bo'ness, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Bo'ness (EH51 and FK3) as part of our Forth Valley work. In Bo'ness we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bo'ness?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Bo'ness 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. 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 Bo'ness like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Bo'ness, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
