The good news is that in most cases you don’t need any planning permission for a new garage if you meet the following Scottish Government rules:-
· The garage should be at the rear of the dwelling (not forward of the front wall of the house).
· The height of the garage is not higher than 4 metres.
· Any part of the garage within 1 metre of the boundary cannot be higher than 2.5 metres.
· The height of the eaves is not higher than 3 metres.
· If you are in a conservation area or are close to a listed building, the garage cannot exceed 4 square metres.
· The garage should be at the rear of the dwelling (not forward of the front wall of the house).
· The height of the garage is not higher than 4 metres.
· Any part of the garage within 1 metre of the boundary cannot be higher than 2.5 metres.
· The height of the eaves is not higher than 3 metres.
· If you are in a conservation area or are close to a listed building, the garage cannot exceed 4 square metres.

You cannot proceed without planning permission if:-
· You intend to use the garage as a dwelling. · If the garage will exceed 50% of your garden space. |
If you have any doubts it is worth calling your local planning department who will advise you. You can also apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness if planning permission is not required. This is a legal document from your planning department that confirms your development is within permitted development rights.
