The Development Plan Scheme 2024

We would like your views on the draft Local Development Plan Scheme 2024.

 The Local Development Plan  is a document published annually to set out the programme to produce the Local Development Plan, a key document that Aberdeenshire Council must prepare to guide and direct built development within Aberdeenshire. This directs what planning applications must follow to achieve consent unless there are significant reasons why a "departure" from the plan can be justified.

 The Development Plan Scheme 2024 has been written as an update to the Development Plan Schem of 2023.

 This questionnaire seeks your views on all parts of this document but specifically highlights issues relating to the revised timetable for the Local Development Plan, the Engagement Processes and the Participation Statement that details how you can get involved.

 The survey contains ten questions that we would like your views on, some of these provide an opportunity to advise us on specific changes you would like to see madeto the document.
