Apply for temporary occupation or use

With our agreement, an application for temporary occupation or use can be submitted whilst a completion certificate is being finalised.

We only grant permission for temporary occupation or use:

• for a short period
• and where the work is complete according to plans, specification and Building Regulations
• but relatively minor issues outstanding mean that we cannot issue a completion certificate.

Usually the homeowner, tenant or building owner applies to Midlothian Building Standards for temporary occupation or use.
