Do I need planning permission in Kelso?
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.
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.
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.
Extensions in and around Kelso
We cover Kelso and the postcode districts TD5. We also work in nearby Galashiels (16 miles), Hawick (19 miles), Peebles (31 miles).
Scotland's housing includes sandstone villas, terraces and tenements in the cities and plenty of post-war and modern houses and bungalows elsewhere. A building warrant is needed before work starts.
What should I budget for a porch extension in Kelso?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Kelso we use our Scotland factor (×0.98). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.
