Do you need permission for architectural design and planning in Arbroath?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

We prepare planning applications where needed and the building warrant application, which must be approved before work starts in Scotland.

What can affect architectural design and planning?

Planning and building regulations are separate approvals; most projects need building regulations even when planning is not needed.
