Extensions in and around Glenrothes
Across KY6, KY7, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Kirkcaldy (5 miles), Cupar (9 miles), Dunfermline (14 miles), St Andrews (17 miles).
Just over the Edinburgh and the Lothians border, Edinburgh is about 17 miles away. 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.
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. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
The planning position for a specific Glenrothes address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
