Do I need planning permission in Coatbridge?
In Scotland a small porch can be permitted development (Class 1C) within limits on floor area, height and distance from a road; larger porches need planning permission, and building standards still apply, so we check whether a building warrant is needed.
The planning position for a specific Coatbridge address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
Extensions in and around Coatbridge
We cover Coatbridge and the postcode districts ML5, ML6. The same team covers Airdrie (2 miles), Bellshill (3 miles), Motherwell (5 miles), Blantyre (5 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Dunbartonshire, Kirkintilloch is around 7 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.

Proportion matters on a porch more than on any other extension, because it is at the front. We match the roof pitch and brick and keep the front door in proportion with the house windows.
