Planning and building around Blairgowrie
Blairgowrie (PH10) is one of the Perth & Kinross towns we cover, about 14 miles north of Perth. The nearest other places we cover are Perth (14 miles), Dundee (16 miles) and Forfar (18 miles).
Projects we can take on around Blairgowrie include fields that need a masterplan before an application, sites where the layout needs to change and land where self-build plots could suit the market. In Scotland, where Blairgowrie sits, planning decisions are made by the council as planning authority (or a national park authority in its area).
Tell us about the site near Blairgowrie and we will explain how we would take it forward.
Our approach in Blairgowrie
From land to keys
The people who buy or promote the land also plan the build, so the scheme that wins planning is one that can be delivered on site.
Respect for neighbours
Site traffic, working hours, noise and dust are managed under a construction management plan where the council requires one, and neighbours know who to contact.
Built to the right regulations
Each home is built to the building regulations or building standards of its nation, with inspections at key stages of the build.
Energy-efficient homes
Homes are designed to meet current energy standards in each nation, which increasingly means low-carbon heating, high insulation and good airtightness.
The Scottish system, as it applies in Blairgowrie
Planning obligations in Scotland are made under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and can cover affordable housing and infrastructure. Once registered against the title, they can bind future owners. Under NPF4, national and major developments must also leave biodiversity in a demonstrably better state. These costs shape what development land near Blairgowrie is worth, which is why our free appraisal explains them before any offer or promotion terms are agreed.
In Scotland, construction needs a building warrant from the council before work starts and an accepted completion certificate before homes are occupied. Building standards are set by the Scottish Government, and the New Build Heat Standard generally rules out direct emissions heating such as gas boilers in new homes. New roads usually need roads construction consent from the council.

Common questions in Blairgowrie
Can you build out a site that already has planning permission?
Yes, where the scheme suits us. We can buy a site with planning permission directly, subject to survey, title and contract, or discuss a joint venture where the landowner keeps an interest. We review the permission, its conditions and any legal agreement first, because they affect what can be built and when.
What are building regulations?
Building regulations set minimum standards for the design and construction of buildings, including structure, fire safety, energy efficiency, drainage and accessibility. England, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own regulations, approved through building control. Scotland has building standards, and work needs a building warrant from the council before it starts and a completion certificate at the end.
How are neighbours affected during construction?
Building work brings deliveries, noise and some disruption. Councils often require a construction management plan setting out working hours, delivery routes, parking and controls on dust and noise. We follow those requirements, keep the site tidy and secure, and make sure neighbours know who to contact if something goes wrong.
Does Land to Homes build the homes itself?
Land to Homes manages planning, design and construction on the sites it brings forward, and is part of the S&K Group, a construction and property group. Construction is carried out with contractors and suppliers under our management. Because we plan land with building in mind, the schemes we take to planning are designed to be delivered.
Do you take on planning and building work in Blairgowrie?
Yes, on sites we buy, option, promote or develop in partnership in Blairgowrie and elsewhere in Perth & Kinross, including Crieff and Perth. We do not take on planning or building work for third parties as a consultancy.
