Do I need planning permission in Inverness?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
When a utility room extension makes sense
- Houses with a side passage or small rear corner
- Kitchens that have run out of space for appliances
- Busy family homes

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.

Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Your questions about a utility room extension in Inverness
Who do I contract with for a utility room extension in Inverness?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Inverness?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Will my neighbours in Inverness 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 a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
How much does a utility room extension cost?
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 Inverness.
