SCOT. B S' HUB

Your local authority grants the building warrant.

In your building warrant package from the local authority you will be issued with:


• A Building Warrant

• A copy of the approved plans

• A Construction Compliance and Notification Plan (CCNP)

When a warrant has been granted, work may start on site. It should be noted however that a grant of warrant does not preclude the need to have any other legal requirements, such as planning permission, in place before starting work.

There will be other considerations also, such as the position of existing services like gas pipes or power cables, which are outside the remit of the building standards system. It is the responsibility of those wishing to build to check with utility companies before work starts. When the verifier grants the warrant, they will include a Construction Compliance and Notification Plan (CCNP).

This will detail the particular stages of the work they wish to inspect or where alternative evidence should be provided. The verifier must be notified when work is to start, and notified in advance of the other stages noted in the CCNP.

Note:
When an applicant decides to withdraw an application there is no refund of fee, and the entry remains on the building standards register.
