Planning rules that apply in Hawick
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.
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.
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 Hawick
Will my neighbours in Hawick 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Hawick, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Hawick?
Yes. We cover Hawick and the surrounding parts of Scottish Borders. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.

Our guide range is about £1,860 to £3,430 per m² including VAT, with a minimum of around £14,000. An 8 m² standard-spec utility is typically £17,500 to £22,000 in Hawick.
