Planning and Building Standards
Planning and Building Standards Service provides the Scottish Borders with a number of services. These range from ensuring
buildings are safe and energy efficient to assessing and approving planning applications and building warrants and providing
the Development Plan to guide future development.
-
The Service is split into three sections:
Building Standards:
- Processes building warrant applications and ensures buildings are safe and healthy for people to live and work in
- Ensures buildings are accessible to people with disabilities
- Ensures minimum standards are met in places like sports grounds, bars and restaurants.
Development Control:
- Advises people on the need for planning permission as well as processing the applications
- Pursues unauthorised works and ensures that conditions applied to consents are met
- Publishes planning decisions, committee reports and appeal decisions.
Plans and Research:
- Produces the Development Plan (Local Plan and Structure Plan) and Supplementary Planning Guidance.
Public Access is a recent on-line service provided by Planning and Building Standards. This allows you to access planning applications
and building warrants on-line.
