Planning rules that apply in Blairgowrie
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.
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.
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.
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
- Roof design matched to the existing pitch and tiles
- Roof windows positioned for light and ventilation
- Insulation to current building regulations
- Lead or proprietary flashings to the main wall
Matching tiles is harder than it sounds. We source reclaimed or closest-match tiles where the originals are no longer made and agree samples with you before ordering.

How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Pitched roof extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Blairgowrie?
Yes. We cover Blairgowrie and the surrounding parts of Perth and Kinross. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Blairgowrie 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Blairgowrie?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,430 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
