Designing in Auchterarder

A long high street, open countryside.

Auchterarder is a traditional town of stone houses along its long main street, surrounded by farmland running up to the Ochils. Rural plots here can be exceptional, with wide views across Strathearn.

We design contemporary homes that sit quietly in that landscape, and extensions that work with the stone and scale of existing houses.

Planning

Planning in Auchterarder.

Planning applications in Auchterarder are decided by Perth & Kinross Council. Rural housing is guided by the council's policies on housing in the countryside, which shape where and how new homes can be built.

We review the relevant planning policies and site constraints at an early stage to identify opportunities, potential obstacles and matters requiring further advice.

Questions

Common questions.

Do I need an architect for my project in Auchterarder?

No. Scottish law does not require an ARB-registered architect to prepare planning or Building Warrant applications, and many homes are designed by architectural designers and technologists. ED Design is an architectural design studio, not an ARB-registered architects' practice. We design your home and prepare the planning and Building Warrant drawings, working with structural engineers and other consultants where needed.

Who decides planning applications in Auchterarder?

Perth & Kinross Council.
