| Is Planning
Required? |
|
We would advise contact with your local planning
Department prior to ordering your garage.
|
|
As a consequence of being considered a temporary
structure, precast concrete sectional garages generally do not need
planning permission.
|
|
However, that need not necessarily apply to your
specific building, and the best advice we can offer, is that you
contact your local authority planning office to discuss if you
require planning or not.
|
|
Cupar Garden Centre cannot be held responsible
for any planning issues should you decide not to consult, should
you decide not to consult with your local planning department.
