Approvals for an extension in Oban
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.
In a conservation area or national scenic area the householder permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition or direction, any extension needs an application.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
What works best for Oban houses?
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Start by comparing bungalow extensions, single-storey rear extensions and orangery extensions: between them they cover most of the layouts we see requested for houses like these.

Site visit by arrangement
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Questions about extensions in Oban
How much does an extension cost in Oban?
Using our Scotland factor (×0.98), a standard-spec single-storey extension of 20 m² is a guide £40,000 to £51,000 including VAT, and a 32 m² two-storey extension £56,000 to £74,000. Your written price follows the survey.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Oban?
Not always. It depends on the size, position and your property's history. Scottish householder rules allow some smaller extensions without an application, but a building warrant is still needed.
Do you handle building regulations?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and calculations, submit them and book inspections, and in Scotland we apply for the building warrant before work starts.
Do you cover all of Oban?
Yes, by arrangement: travel and any associated costs are agreed in writing before the survey.
