Certificate of Lawfulness
If you want formal confirmation from the council that the works you're proposing constitute permitted development, are not considered development or are now lawful and don't need to be the subject of a planning application, you can apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness.
The cost of this can be found in table 3 of the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 (opens new window).
You can submit your application through the Government's ePlanning (opens new window) website or by using the council's forms below.
