Extensions in and around Arbroath
We cover Arbroath and the postcode districts DD11. We also work in nearby Montrose (14 miles), Forfar (14 miles), Dundee (16 miles).
For homes towards Fife, St Andrews is around 17 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.
Planning and approvals in Arbroath
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.
In a conservation area or national scenic area the householder permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition or direction, any extension needs an application.
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.

Yes. We cover Arbroath and the surrounding parts of Angus and Dundee. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
