Work Not Requiring a Building Warrant
With the introduction of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 on 1st May 2005, changes to the Building Regulations have taken place offering greater freedom to property owners wishing to alter their property. Part of this freedom is achieved for certain items of work, by removing the statutory need for Building Warrant approval on condition that these works fully comply with the appropriate Building Regulations. Please also note that with this greater freedom a greater responsibility is placed upon you to ensure that the works, as carried out, actually comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations in full. This guidance note is intended to assist you in establishing whether or not a Building Warrant will be required for works you may be considering undertaking to your property. This document should be read in conjunction with the link to the “Do you need a Building Warrant” guidance
