To ensure your planned work will be accepted, please read over the following guidance note before continuing with your request:

Driveways

  1. It is your responsibility to arrange for and comply with the requirement of any statutory authority such as Planning/Building Control, and you must provide us with a copy.

  2. A permit will be required for the pavement kerb to be dropped. Permission to cross a public footpath is also required from the Highways Department.

  3. The driveway should be made using slabs or a hardcore base that can be infilled with chips. Details of materials should be submitted with the application.

  4. You will also need to include details of how water run-off from the driveway will be controlled.

  5. Metal gates that open inwards must be fitted, and any existing fence should not be removed until the gates are ready to be erected.

  6. Any fencing disturbed to provide access to the driveway must be adequately secured.

  7. Maintenance of the driveway will be the tenant's sole responsibility.

  8. The ground and fence must be restored if the driveway is removed at the tenancy end.

I feel part of a broader family with the communication and support from Veterans Housing Scotland. I appreciate them keeping in touch and offering advice and updates as necessary.  A letter from the Chief Executive during the Covid-19 crisis was a nice touch and reassured us that help was available should any of us need it.
