Which rules apply in Prestwick?
Sound insulation in Prestwick must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Building standards apply to new partitions and conversions, and councils may set expectations through licence conditions.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.
