Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this, so is CIL community infrastructure levy? If so, it looks like that only applies in England and Wales.

Thanks. The planning was already extended by the previous owner and if we are going to submit a planning application, we'd rather do it for the house we want (instead of someone else's design). Though we def will need the planning portal soon

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this so is BCO the British Council for Offices? We def intend to do it, we have a couple of months to start the Build. Thanks

Thanks for the reply We just need to submit some information about the aesthetics and materials we were going to use for the build. We are thinking of building a trench and sending photographic evidence to the council. Did you submit pictures of the access? Did they need to visit to confirm? Or did they accept it from the commencement form?

Thanks we will try that

We have planning permission and a building warrant for a plot we just purchased in Scotland. The current planning expires in June. We would like to start the build (to keep the planning active and be a fall back if needed) and then submit what we actually want through planning. My question is what constitutes starting the build? We are working through the pre commencement conditions and will submit these. There is a commencement form, which we can submit. What else is needed? We are looking for the bare minimum as we are running out of time and we don't really want to build this unless we can't make Aby changes to the current plans. Thanks for your help
