Development Plan

Introduction

The development plan currently consists of the Structure Plan and Local Development Plan. The purpose of the Development Plan is to set the framework for new developments, and planning applications are assessed against the provisions (land allocations and policies) of the development plan.

Structure Plan

The Aberdeen City and Shire Structure Plan covers the geographical areas covered by Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire Councils excluding the Cairngorms National Park. The Structure Plan plays a key role in guiding development over the next 25 years. Our vision is to create an even more exciting, modern and sustainable European city region - an excellent place to live, visit and do business. The current Structure Plan was approved in August 2009.

You can find out more about the preparation of the plan on the  Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Planning Authority web-site or by contacting the Strategic Development Plan Team.

Local Development Plan

The Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2012 was adopted in February 2012. The Aberdeen LDP provides a land use framework until 2030 and aims towards Aberdeen being a sustainable city at the heart of a vibrant and inclusive North East of Scotland:
