Do I need Planning Permission?

This is the most common question we are asked, and can sometimes be the most difficult to answer! The best advice we can give is "Talk to us!"

You can contact us on 01324 504748 between 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

Advice for Householders

Advice for householders can be found here| and in our Brief Guide to Householder Permitted Development Rights in Scotland (PDF, 96KB)|.

Advice for Others

There are many types of development which do not require planning permission, but is often difficult to come to a view without a detailed examination of proposals.

We encourage you to contact the Duty Officer for general advice, but pre-application discussion of your proposals is the preferred option as this can highlight any difficulties or additional matters which might need consideration. You can download a form for seeking such advice from our downloads page|.
