It is used to determine if there is sufficient land available for housing development and also to inform the planning of future infrastructure such as roads, schools and drainage.
The audit is undertaken jointly by Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. It has a base date of 31st March 2025 and lists sites with a capacity for four or more units which are allocated for housing in the local development plan(External link) or have planning consent for housing development.

2. Draft Housing Land Audit 2025 - spreadsheet giving details of all individual sites and summary information on annual programming for areas and settlements
3. Interactive map which enables you to select areas/ settlements and view site boundaries and details.
