Extensions in and around Peterhead
Our survey diary covers Peterhead, including AB42. Nearby, we also take on projects in Ellon (15 miles), Inverurie (28 miles), Aberdeen (28 miles), Westhill (31 miles).
Buckie, in Moray, is roughly 44 miles from Peterhead 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.

Who this service is for
- Glass-heavy designs that need energy calculations
- Homeowners using their own builder who need the drawings
- Every extension, whatever the planning route
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Peterhead address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
