Planning and building regulations in the Highlands and Islands
In Scotland, energy standards come from Section 6 of the domestic Technical Handbook, and most extensions need a building warrant before work starts.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.
