Planning rules that apply in Cupar
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.
The planning position for a specific Cupar address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.

Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.

Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
