Planning rules that apply in Peebles
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Covering Peebles
We cover Peebles and the postcode districts EH45. Nearby, we also take on projects in Galashiels (15 miles), Hawick (24 miles), Kelso (31 miles).
Just over the Edinburgh and the Lothians border, Penicuik is about 12 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.
Who an orangery extension suits
- Those who want daylight without overheating

Common questions in Peebles
Do you cover all of Peebles?
Yes. We cover Peebles and the surrounding parts of Scottish Borders. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Peebles?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Peebles?
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.
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 Peebles.
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.
