Planning rules that apply in Kirkintilloch
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Local to Kirkintilloch
Site visits are available across Kirkintilloch (G66). Neighbouring towns we cover include Bishopbriggs (3 miles), Bearsden (7 miles), Clydebank (10 miles), Dumbarton (16 miles).
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.
When it helps
- Projects in conservation areas or with previous refusals
- Homeowners who would rather not deal with the council themselves
- Anyone unsure whether their extension needs permission
A lawful development certificate is not compulsory for permitted development, but it is the cleanest proof that the extension was lawful when you come to sell. We usually recommend one.

Questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?

You can revise the design and reapply, or appeal. We read the officer’s report and tell you honestly which option has a better chance.
