Do I need planning permission 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. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
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.
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 Blairgowrie
Our survey diary covers Blairgowrie, including PH10. Nearby, we also take on projects in Perth (15 miles), Crieff (24 miles).
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Included in a typical project
- Structure, roof tied into the house
- Foundations near boundaries and any drains
- Survey, design and street-view drawings
- Windows, doors and finishes to match
- Planning route checked or application made
- New openings through the side wall
Councils often prefer side extensions to sit slightly back from the front of the house with a lower roof, so the original building still reads clearly. We design to those principles from the start to avoid redesigns.
