Choosing the right extension in Cambuslang
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.
Start by comparing double-storey extensions, bungalow extensions and single-storey rear extensions: between them they cover most of the layouts we see requested for houses like these.
Do extensions in Cambuslang need planning permission?
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.

Questions about extensions in Cambuslang
How much does an extension cost in Cambuslang?
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.
Will my neighbours need to be told?
If you apply for planning permission the council notifies neighbours, and we agree access with them in writing for work near a shared boundary.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Cambuslang?
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.
Who do I contract with?
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.
