Consultation and approval of Draft Aberdeen Planning Guidance and Supplementary Guidance

The Consultation covered the period Friday 24 February until Friday 21 April 2023.

A total of 30 respondents submitted comments during the consultation period. Officers reviewed, summarised and responded to the comments and, where necessary, outlined proposed changes to the draft documents. A review of the draft documents to take account of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4), adopted by Scottish Ministers on 13 February 2023, was also undertaken due to NPF4 replacing former national planning guidance and policies in NPF3 and Scottish Planning Policy (SPP).

At the meeting of Council, on 3 November 2023, the results of the consultation and draft guidance, revised where necessary, were considered and approved.
