Supplementary Planning Guidance
Details
In addition to the Development Plan, Aberdeen City Council also produces Supplementary Planning Guidance to assist with aspects of planning policy. Supplementary guidance can be useful where:
- there is a need for an urgent policy response to an emerging issue; or
- the level of detail is inappropriate for a development plan - for example planning briefs, design guides and master plans for areas of intensive change.
Supplementary guidance is used to support statutory development plans, not as an alternative. Statements made in supplementary guidance carry less weight than the development plan but are likely to be material considerations in determining planning applications and appeals.
The guidance produced by Aberdeen City Council can be split into site specific guidance, or planning briefs and information to assist understanding of policy and its application.
