Making a building warrant application
Making an application for building warrant
If you intend to alter (internally or externally), extend, erect, demolish or change the use of a building, then you will, with limited exceptions, require a building warrant.
We hope this page offers you some useful guidance on making an application for building warrant and some general advice on the procedures that follow.
REMEMBER - building warrant is not to be confused with
planning approval
, so you should always consult with Development Management at Planning and Building reception 01738 475300 or email
DevelopmentStandards@pkc.gov.uk
to find out if planning approval is required.
How to make an application for a building warrant
- You must fill in an application form. Forms can be downloaded from this site or are available at all our offices.
- You must submit the appropriate fee, this is set by the Scottish Office and is based on the cost of works, excluding VAT, but including all time and labour (sorry, self build is not accepted). A table of fees is available on this website or alternatively they can be uplifed from any of our offices. Please note that if the application is for demolition of an entire building and the erection of a new building, you actually require to submit two separate applications, one for demolition and theother for the new build. The exception to this is when the new build is to follow immediately folowing the clearance of the site.
- You must submit two copies of all plans and specifications, paper copies are acceptable, but plans drawn in pencil are not.
- If you are making an application for a non domestic building you are advised to contact Tayside Fire Brigade at B Division HQ, 401 High Street, Perth.
- If you are making an application for a new dwelling house that will have a private water supply contact Environmental Health at Pullar House to obtain details on additional consents you will require.
