Planning a home or extension in Dunblane? ED Design is an architectural design studio just down the road in Stirling, designing extensions, renovations and new homes for families in and around Dunblane.
Many Dunblane homeowners want more space and light from a much-loved family home without losing its character. Others are looking to build new on the edge of town. We can help with both, from first ideas to the planning and Building Warrant applications.
Dunblane combines a historic core around the cathedral with Victorian villas and later family housing. Extensions here need to work with the original house, its materials and its neighbours, while opening the home to the garden.
We design kitchen and living extensions, garden rooms, loft and layout changes, and new homes on infill and edge-of-town plots.
Planning applications in Dunblane are decided by Stirling Council. Parts of the town lie within a conservation area, where materials, scale and appearance are considered closely.
Many smaller extensions can be built without planning permission under permitted development rights, but almost all still need a Building Warrant. We confirm which applies to your home before design starts.

No. Scottish law does not require an ARB-registered architect to prepare planning or Building Warrant applications, and many homes are designed by architectural designers and technologists. ED Design is an architectural design studio, not an ARB-registered architects' practice. We design your home and prepare the planning and Building Warrant drawings, working with structural engineers and other consultants where needed.
