Extensions in and around Saltcoats
Postcode districts we cover around Saltcoats include KA21, KA22. The same team covers Kilwinning (3 miles), Irvine (5 miles), Troon (8 miles), Largs (11 miles), all within easy reach.
Scotland's housing includes sandstone villas, terraces and tenements in the cities and plenty of post-war and modern houses and bungalows elsewhere. A building warrant is needed before work starts.
Will the council need to approve it?
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. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Questions people ask about annexe extensions
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Saltcoats?
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.
Do you cover all of Saltcoats?
Yes. We cover Saltcoats and the surrounding parts of Ayrshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Saltcoats be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Does an annexe extension need planning permission?
Usually yes, because of its size and the way it will be used. Councils check that it stays ancillary to the main house, so the application must describe the use clearly.
How much does an annexe extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,960 to £3,720 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £82,000 to £103,000 at standard spec in Saltcoats.
