Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in Bonnyrigg usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In Scotland, flats are treated differently from houses under permitted development, so we confirm the position with the council where needed.
