Do I need planning permission in Montrose?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Working in Montrose
Site visits are available across Montrose (DD10). We also work in nearby Arbroath (14 miles), Forfar (20 miles), Dundee (28 miles).
Stonehaven, in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, is roughly 18 miles from Montrose and also on our list. 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.

Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Double-storey extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Montrose, 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 Montrose?
Yes. We cover Montrose and the surrounding parts of Angus and Dundee. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Montrose?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,520 to £2,940 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,720 to £3,330 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
