Conditions attached to Bearsden permissions aren’t optional small print, they’re a genuine legal requirement, and getting them discharged properly protects the permission itself from real enforcement risk.
Get StartedMost planning permissions in Bearsden come with conditions attached, materials, landscaping, drainage, whatever the council felt needed addressing before the project could genuinely proceed. Some, known as pre-commencement conditions, must be formally discharged before any work starts at all, not just before completion.
Getting this wrong carries genuine risk. If work begins in Bearsden before a pre-commencement condition’s been discharged, the development can be treated as unlawful, and enforcement action can follow, regardless of how valid the original permission was.
Where Bearsden work’s already begun in breach of a pre-commencement condition, that’s a different, more urgent situation, and one worth addressing honestly rather than ignoring.
