In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
In Scotland an annexe needs planning permission and a building warrant before work starts.
What can affect a garden annexe?
- Drainage may need a pump if the garden falls away from the sewer.
- A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.
