As a member of the Public Health Team in Stirling Council, I worked closely with Planning and Building Standards. I appreciate that the regulatory system and associated planning conditions can be complex, and that procedures vary greatly between local authorities. Therefore, I take a consultative approach to each project and ‘walk it’ through the system. SL&E members: please do not hesitate to contact me if you think I can be of assistance. I am always happy to discuss your development plans (on site, if possible) even if you just want a second opinion.
