Introduction
As part of the reform of the planning system in Scotland Aberdeen City Council is reviewing the current Local Plan and replacing it with a Local Development Plan. The Local Development Plan identifies proposals for the development and use of land for a period of 10 years from adoption. The Local Development Plan contains the policies that planning applications will be assessed against.
On 25 January 2012, Aberdeen City Council approved the Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan (as Modified 2012) and have agreed to notify Scottish Ministers of the Aberdeen City Council's intention to agree to the modifications to the Plan and to adopt it with effect from 29 February 2012, unless directed otherwise by Scottish Ministers.
On 10 May 2011, Aberdeen City Council submitted the Aberdeen Local Development Plan Proposed Plan and the associated completed Schedule 4 Forms to the Scottish Government Directorate of Planning and Appeals for Examination.
To support the Aberdeen Local Development Plan the Action Programme will set actions required to deliver each of the plans, policies and proposals contained in the Aberdeen Local Development Plan.
The Proposed Plan was approved by Council on 18 August 2010. Go to this section for more information and to view the Proposed Plan, Supplementary Guidance.
