Will the council need to approve it?
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 Perth
Site visits are available across Perth (PH1, PH2). The same team covers Blairgowrie (15 miles), Crieff (15 miles), all within easy reach.
Cupar, in Fife, is roughly 16 miles from Perth and also on our list. 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.

On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.

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.

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
