Planning Applications
Introduction
Aberdeen City Council's Development Management section currently processes around 2500 planning and related applications each year. The Development Management section is split into the Householder and Non-Householder teams.
The householder team is responsible for carrying out pre-application discussions and processing applications for planning permission deals with applications to alter or extend houses or flats. In the event of listed building consent or conservation area consent being required then the team will also deal with these applications.
The non-householder team is responsible for carrying out pre-application discussions, processing applications for planning permission and listed building consent or conservation area consent for non-householder matters. The team is also responsible for dealing with applications for advertisement and other consents.

Appeals and Reviews
The appeal process in Scotland has changed. Any decision made at officer level on an application classed as 'Local Development' can only be appealed to the Local Review Board. Any decision made by the Planning Committee should still be appealed to the Scottish Government. For more information, please view the Council's Appeals and Reviews page at the above link.
Weekly Lists
The Weekly Lists page has lists of weekly registered applications, as well as all undetermined applications, both of which are updated on a weekly basis. Details of any Proposal of Application Notices for major developments are also available. For more information on planning applications, not shown on the lists, please contact us.
