Architects on Site with Another Self Build


I have just returned today from a site in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire where we are assisting a Client with the site inspection of a Self Build Property.


The Client is a farming family and we have recently negotiated the project through planning, building control and SEPA. Frought with difficulties from the start it was with pleasure that we visited site today with Ian Lindsey Builder to inspect the trench dig.


Some of the issues associated with the build were:-



  • Green Belt Land requiring a lengthy planning process and Section 75 agreement

  • SAC Report required assessing the justification of an additional dwelling with the farm

  • SEPA approval requires for Bio Disc discharge

  • Upgrade of thermal insulation of the house to comply with PAN guidelines.

If you are currently considering a self build in a rural environment please contact us early to receive professional information. You can find more on the self build process at our web page.
