Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Erskine 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.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Common questions in Erskine
How long does a utility room extension take to build in Erskine?
On site, typically 6 to 10 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Erskine 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 you cover all of Erskine?
Yes. We cover Erskine and the surrounding parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Does a utility extension need planning permission?
Often not, if it is single storey and within permitted development limits. We check this for your property.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
