Planning rules that apply in Bearsden
In Scotland a small porch can be permitted development (Class 1C) within limits on floor area, height and distance from a road; larger porches need planning permission, and building standards still apply, so we check whether a building warrant is needed.
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
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.
