If you need advice about the acceptability of a development, submit a pre-application enquiry to the planning team.

When planning permission is required

Permitted Development Rights allow some householder development work to be undertaken without the need for planning permission.

If you are trying to find out if a proposal requires planning permission then you should complete a Certificate of Lawfulness application. Details can be found on Scottish Government’s ePlanning portal at ePlanning.scot.
