Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Saltcoats address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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.

Your questions about a home office extension in Saltcoats
How long does a home office extension take to build in Saltcoats?
On site, typically 8 to 12 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Saltcoats?
Yes. We cover Saltcoats and the surrounding parts of Ayrshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Saltcoats, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a home office extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,330 per m² including VAT. An 11 m² standard-spec office is typically £23,000 to £29,500 in Saltcoats.
Is an attached office better than a garden office?
An attached office shares the house heating and broadband, adds floor area to the home, and needs no garden path in the rain. A garden building can be cheaper and quicker but is a separate structure.
