Planning rules that apply in Nairn
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
What we take care of
- Built-in storage or space ready for your units

Utility room extension questions answered
How long does a utility room extension take to build in Nairn?
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 Nairn 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 Nairn?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
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 Nairn.
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.
