Roads And The Problems They Can Cause

When dealing with planning situations it is all too easy to concentrate upon the grant of the planning permission itself, almost ignoring other aspects of the development process, often because these will be dealt with by way of conditions. Typically when dealing with a planning application issues such as roads will be resolved between the parties and their technical advisers so that the construction of any necessary roads is not an issue given any detailed consideration.

There are reasonably few cases in Scotland dealing with the topic of roads. However, just like buses, two have come along at once! One case deals with the definition of roads, while the other deals with the consent process.
