We will be in touch
aP - have you a website?
I was actually looking a bit further north, like 'beyond Inverness' north, like Dingwall, to be closer to the potential site.
Huntly's a reasonable hike when it comes to travelling costs, if my understanding of the way things work is correct.
However, that doesn't stop me from looking, right?
TJ I sympathize, what I was trying to say was make sure he is covered/has the resources to cover a claim. PI insurers are renowned for trying to weasel out using the fact that in effect, if what you say is right, he has committed a criminal act by instructing unauthorised works to a listed building. I'm not sure about Scotland but under English & Welsh law you can't insure against breaking the criminal law. Its definitely worth checking before your costs get too high
Cheers ritchie
He is principle of a big Edinburgh practise - and as he is council appointed and (un)supervised I would have thought they would ultimately be responsible.
I will take advise - and a lot depends on the attitude of the big property company who own 50% of the building. I want to really go for him tho. I am so angry.

When planners stop hiding behind the phrase 'This advice is given without prejudice', stop changing their minds (for whatever reason), read their own local/unitary plans, and get at least a rudimentary understanding of Listed Building Legislation, it might be worth taking that seriously. [/i]
Planners do have knowledge of LB legislation. However most Councils have an intenal Design and Conservation dept who are consulted in relation to LBC's. I think it is fair to say D&C have a pretty good understanding of Listed Building regs.
And my opinion is indeed given 'without prejudice'....
miket-23, it's not me but an associated practice, do you have an email that I can send it to "off list"?
What are you looking to do?
Mike - I'm sure if someone took it on as a PJ and you offered a bed for the night and guided rides around the area I don't think you would haveany trouble getting what you want done!
