How it is built

Inverness: common questions

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Inverness?

Householder permitted development covers houses only. Car parks, yards, flats and business premises follow normal planning rules: resurfacing an existing area on the same footprint is generally fine, while a new car park, a change of use or new drainage may need permission. Check with the planning authority before any new hard area.

How quickly can work start in Inverness?

Often 1–2 weeks for a small car park, depending on drainage. We book Inverness surveys alongside other jobs in Highland and Moray, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.
