Planning and approvals in Renfrew
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.
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.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Renfrew, 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 long does an orangery extension take to build in Renfrew?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Renfrew 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.
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 Renfrew.
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.
