Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.
What does a kitchen extension involve?
A kitchen extension is a single-storey extension designed around a new kitchen, usually creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens onto the garden. Planning the kitchen layout at the same time as the building means the drains, steels, windows and power end up where the kitchen needs them.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Combined building and kitchen layout design
- Planning or permitted development check

Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Peebles?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.
What should I think about before starting?
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
- Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.
