Planning rules that apply in Stirling
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.
Extensions in and around Stirling
We cover Stirling and the postcode districts FK7, FK9. The same team covers Alloa (6 miles), Falkirk (10 miles), Grangemouth (11 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Lanarkshire border, Cumbernauld is about 12 miles away. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
What we take care of
- Waste and water connections
- Built-in storage or space ready for your units
- Back door and a hard-wearing floor
- Ventilation for a tumble dryer
- Design around appliances, sink and storage
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.

Yes. We cover Stirling and the surrounding parts of Forth Valley. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
