Planning a new home or extension in Perth? ED Design is an architectural design studio based in Stirling, under an hour away, designing extensions, renovations and new homes in Perth and the surrounding villages.

From Victorian terraces and villas near the city centre to family homes on the edges of town, we help homeowners create the space they need.

Designing in Perth

The Fair City and its villages.

Perth's stone terraces and villas, many set along the Tay or around the Inches, call for extensions that respect their character. Outside the city, villages and rural plots offer the chance to build new.

We design kitchen and living extensions, renovations of existing homes, and new self-build houses across the Perth area.

Planning

Planning in Perth.

Planning applications in Perth are decided by Perth & Kinross Council, using the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan. Central Perth has several conservation areas.

We confirm early whether your project needs planning permission, listed building consent or only a Building Warrant, so there are no surprises later.

Questions

Common questions.

Do I need an architect for my project in Perth?

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.

Who decides planning applications in Perth?

Perth & Kinross Council.
