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.
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.
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.
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
A good utility works like a back-of-house corridor: in from the garden, boots off, coats on hooks, washing on the way through. We plan the door positions so it doesn't become another room to walk around.

Common questions in Largs
Do you cover all of Largs?
Yes. We cover Largs and the surrounding parts of Ayrshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Largs 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 I need building regulations approval in Largs?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
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.
