Do I need planning permission in Bishopbriggs?
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Common questions in Bishopbriggs
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Bishopbriggs?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bishopbriggs, 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 Bishopbriggs 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.
