Building warrant arrived…

July 31, 2005 | Leave a Comment |

Besides our Detailed Planning Permission we now also have our building warrant. This arrived on the last day of our holiday and Archie MacDonald really made an effort in getting this document for us. It appears that the northern part of Skye is suffering from an administrative backlog regarding the Building Warrants. Luckily Archie knows how to pull the strings a bit!!

As with the Detailed Planning Permission, the Building Warrant is a required document for one to have before one starts building. It states that the design - specifically the technical aspects - meet with all UK standards and regulations. Physically it’s a green piece of paper from the Highland Council with a set of drawings of the house. Each document is signed off by a Highland Council official.

Now that we have both Detailed Planning Permission and the Building Warrant, we have all formal paperwork we need to start building the house. As Archie put it: “You’re ready to Rock & Roll!!”.
