Do I need planning permission in Clydebank?
In Scotland the questions are whether the extension falls within householder permitted development (Classes 1A to 1D) or needs planning permission from the council, and the building warrant, which is required before construction begins and is followed by a completion certificate.
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.
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.

Our survey diary covers Clydebank, including G81. We also work in nearby Bearsden (3 miles), Dumbarton (7 miles), Bishopbriggs (7 miles), Vale of Leven (8 miles).
Just over the Renfrewshire and Inverclyde border, Erskine is about 2 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.
