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.
The planning position for a specific Broxburn address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
Working in Broxburn
Our survey diary covers Broxburn, including EH52. The same team covers Livingston (3 miles), Bathgate (7 miles), Edinburgh (11 miles), Penicuik (12 miles), all within easy reach.
Dunfermline, in Fife, is roughly 10 miles from Broxburn and also on our list. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
When an orangery extension makes sense
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Those who want daylight without overheating
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
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.

Will my neighbours in Broxburn be involved?

How much does an orangery cost?
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 Broxburn.
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.
