Planning and approvals in Airdrie
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.
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.
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.

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Airdrie
Do I need building regulations approval in Airdrie?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Do you cover all of Airdrie?
Yes. We cover Airdrie and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Airdrie, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,960 to £3,630 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £56,000 to £71,500 in Airdrie before design and council fees.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
