Do I need planning permission in Stornoway?
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.

Common questions in Stornoway
Do you cover all of Stornoway?
Yes. We cover Stornoway and the surrounding parts of Highlands and Islands. Projects here are taken on by arrangement because of travel, and any travel costs are agreed before the survey.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Stornoway, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Stornoway?
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.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,570 to £3,140 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £33,500 to £43,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
