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