Detailed Planning Permission has arrived

September 21, 2005

We received an email from Archie MacDonald - our house designer from SkyeHomes - that the formal Detailed Planning Permission finally has arrived. This means that the Highland Council has formally granted us the right to build our house.

What does this mean? Well, we can now start with all preparations of the plot like bringing in the services (water and electricity) and groundwork (access road, excavations for the foundations). All in all the total process took well over 3 months! The original request was submitted to the Highland Council on the 12th of April, which sums up to 14 weeks and 4 days… wow…. they really scrutinize your plans!

However, this is only 50% of the paperwork done. We’re also still waiting on the Building Warrant. This document states that the house design is approved on all technical matters and that it’s a sound construction, meeting all the technical building regulations and standards in the UK.
