We have developed a range of guidelines to help you understand building standards and make the right decisions before you start your project, including:
Application fast tracking
Sometimes building warrants and completion certificates need to be processed as a priority application. These are dealt with more quickly than normal applications.
Our building standards management team will consider fast tracking where the applicant/agent provides a letter requesting the application to be fast tracked and suitable justification is given that the application meets the following criteria:
-
the application is for the benefit of a disabled person
-
the application is for minor works and the works are linked to a house sale
-
the application relates to a project with social or economic benefit to the community
-
other special circumstances are identified
-
the application relates to a Scottish Type Approval System (STAS)
