Planning Applications
Development Management is the process which regulates development and the use of land. Through the Development Management process the Council is able to influence the location and quality of development in ways that comply with the Council's objectives, policies and plans.
The Council, as planning authority, enables the development process, safeguards the quality of the environment and mediates between conflicting land uses or development proposals. At times unauthorised developments can occur and these require investigation and may result in enforcement action to cause them to cease, to minimise their effect or to make such development acceptable.
The Development Management Charter (pdf 18.5 kb) and the Planning Enforcement Charter (pdf 462 kb) give an introduction into the work carried out by the Development Management Service. The main purpose of the Charters is to improve access to the Service in Aberdeenshire and to promote quality in the delivery of the Service. The key features of the Charters are:
- How the Service is Organised
- Service Standards
- Complaints Procedure
