Aberdeen Local Development Plan - Timetable
Introduction
The Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 requires all Councils to prepare a Development Plan Scheme. This is a document that sets out our programme for preparing and reviewing the local plan. A copy of our most recent Development Plan Scheme 3 can be downloaded from the downloadable forms section on this page. The Development Plan Scheme 2 is updated annually. The Development Plan Scheme 3 provides information on the following issues:
- The development plans we have now
- Why we need to prepare a new Local Development Plan
- The timetable for engaging people in the preparation of the plan and how we will do this (the participation statement)
- The timetable for preparing this plan (the project plan)
The table below sets out the key milestones in the production of the Local Development Plan:
