Permitted development rights for householders were amended on 6 February 2012 by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011. An advice note on how, in amending the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992, it allows certain development to be carried out without having to apply for planning permission will appear here shortly.

The Scottish Government Website contains pages that provide guidance on the new householder permitted development rights, which can be accessed here. They should be used in conjunction with the legislation.
