Draft 2005 Housing Land Audit

Each year, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils carry out an audit to determine the extent and status of the housing land supply in the area. We now have a Draft Audit and would like to invite you to comment on it as part of an extensive consultation process, which involves a range of stakeholders including housebuilders and a number of statutory agencies.

The consultation period for the Draft Audit ends on Thursday 2nd June 2005. Please ensure that all comments you wish to make are received by that date.

Responses to the consultation will be used to make amendments to the draft audit and a final version of the Audit will be published in September.

The consultation documents consist of the following:

1. Draft Housing Land Audit. Note that Aberdeenshire is divided up into the Aberdeen and the Rural Housing Market Areas. The Audit is ordered by parish in Aberdeen City and, in Aberdeenshire, by settlement or parish.
