Do I need planning permission in Scottish Borders?
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.
The planning position for a specific Scottish Borders 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.
