What is included in a single-storey extension in Banchory?

A single-storey extension adds one level of new floor space to the back or side of a house, usually to open up a kitchen, dining or family room. It is the most common way to gain space without moving, and many can be built without a planning application.

How is a single-storey extension approved in Banchory?

Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.

What should Banchory homeowners check first?

Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
