Extensions

A house extension is one of the most popular ways for homeowners in Scotland to create additional space without the hassle of moving. Whether it's a rear extension to open up the kitchen, a side extension to increase living space, or a double-storey extension to add bedrooms, each project is designed to meet your specific needs while enhancing the value and usability of your home.

​

In Scotland, many house extensions fall under permitted development rights, but the need for planning permission varies depending on the size of the extension, location, and proximity to neighbouring properties. For instance, properties in conservation areas or near listed buildings may face stricter planning requirements. Local councils, including Moray Council, often assess factors like privacy, overshadowing, and the impact on neighbouring properties. Beyond planning, a Building Warrant is required to ensure your extension complies with Scottish building regulations regarding structural integrity, energy efficiency, and accessibility.
