Can I start building houses as soon as I have obtained the Road Construction Consent (RCC)?
Apart from any other permissions or conditions required, such as Planning Permission, Building Warrants, and so on, under The Security for Private Roadworks (Scotland) Regulations, no, you cannot start building houses until a bond is lodged and accepted by the Local Authority. If you are a housing association or the road is for commercial businesses, for example a business park, you may not require one. Your RCC conditions will indicate if you require a bond, and if so, the value required.
