Planning rules that apply in Airdrie
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national scenic areas and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.

Included in a typical project
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Opening into the main house
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.

Your questions about an orangery extension in Airdrie
Will my neighbours in Airdrie be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Airdrie, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Airdrie?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.

Our guide range is about £2,350 to £4,410 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £43,500 to £55,000 in Airdrie.
