Do I need planning permission in Rutherglen?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rules (Class 1A for single-storey ground-floor extensions and Class 1B for extensions of more than one storey) allow some smaller extensions without a planning application, within limits on depth, height and distance from the boundary. Conservation areas and listed buildings are more restricted.
Homes in conservation areas, national scenic areas and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
In Scotland a building warrant from the council is needed before work starts on almost any extension, and a completion certificate is issued when the work is accepted. Building standards are set in the Scottish technical handbooks.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Is an annexe extension right for your house?
- Relatives who need support close by
- Homes with a large side or rear garden
- Multi-generational families
Accessibility is cheaper to design in than to retrofit. Level access, a 900 mm door width, a level-access shower and space to turn a wheelchair can all be planned into the footprint for little extra cost.

Common questions in Rutherglen
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Rutherglen?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will my neighbours in Rutherglen be involved?

Do you cover all of Rutherglen?
Yes. We cover Rutherglen and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can the annexe have its own front door?
Yes, many do, but it should still connect to the main house to stay clearly part of it.
