Planning Applications - Apply for and Search 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.

Comment on a Planning Application

We encourage the community to participate in the planning process which helps to shape and form the environment in which we all live, work and enjoy our leisure time. The involvement of the general public is valued, as it enables Planning Officials to reach a balanced view when deciding upon planning applications. Every member of the community has the right to comment on any planning application, and the purpose of this guide is to assist how best you might make your views known.

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 from the link below:
