Planning and approvals in Wishaw
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.

Common questions in Wishaw
Will my neighbours in Wishaw 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wishaw, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Wishaw?
Yes. We cover Wishaw and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,430 per m² including VAT, including removal.
