Aberdeen City and Shire - Strategic Development Planning Authority

About Us

The "Strategic Development Planning Authority" (SDPA) was designated by Scottish Ministers on 25 June 2008 under the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006. The Order required Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils to jointly prepare and keep under review a strategic development plan for a strategic development plan area. Statutory guidance from the Scottish Government on SDPAs is contained in Circular 2/2008.

We have 12 members, with six being appointed by both Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils. The Chair and Vice Chair of the SDPA rotate on a 2 yearly cycle.

The terms of reference agreed by the two Councils require that, prior to the start of work on a strategic development plan, the SDPA will take forward work on a structure plan commenced by the two Councils in early 2007.

Meetings of the SDPA take place in public at least four times a year. Agendas, papers and minutes are available below, with hard copies available on request.
