Covering Peebles
Our survey diary covers Peebles, including EH45. We also work in nearby Galashiels (15 miles), Hawick (24 miles), Kelso (31 miles).
Just over the Edinburgh and the Lothians border, Penicuik is about 12 miles away. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Planning and approvals in Peebles
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.
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.
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.

Your questions about a bungalow extension in Peebles
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Peebles, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Peebles 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.
Do you cover all of Peebles?
Yes. We cover Peebles and the surrounding parts of Scottish Borders. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,720 to £3,330 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
