    You might want to consider a spell checker on your posts.

    If the law in Scotland is the same as England, then you need neither PP or Building Reg approvals.

    Not sure about Scotland but in England you can move any non-load bearing walls without planning or building control permission. Planning is generally only concerned with the external view of the house (unless it is listed) and the impact on neighbours, building control is generally only interested in the structure of the house so it doesn't fall down on you.
