Construction Consent

As stated in Section 21 of the Roads (Scotland) act 1984, any person or organisation other than a Roads Authority who wishes to construct a new road or an extension of an existing road must before commencing construction obtain the consent of the Local Roads Authority.

Construction Consent is granted by the Local Roads Authority and road construction works may only be undertaken while the Construction Consent (Form CC3) remains valid.

Before undertaking any new road construction the Developer must obtain both Detailed Planning Consent and Construction Consent. Please note that the granting of one does not necessarily imply the granting of the other.
