Aberdeen City and Shire - Strategic Development Planning Authority

Current Consultations

This page contains information on all current consultations being carried out by the SDPA. All registered users of the site will be informed by email of the start of all consultations.

There are currently no active consultations:

1) Draft Structure Plan (This consultation has now closed)

A draft structure plan has been prepared following extensive consultation and engagement with communities and stakeholders. The plan looks forward to 2030 and has a vision for sustainable growth - setting out the type, scale and general location of proposed development over that period. The plan is a significant departure from previous structure plans it its form and content, seeking to be more strategic, focused and action-orientated. The clarity of the plan has been approved by the Plain English Campaign. This is an important document for the future of the area and your views on it would be warmly welcomed. In addition to the Draft Structure Plan, also published for consultation are an SEA Environmental Report, Equalities and Human Rights Impact Assessment and a Background Paper. The closing date for comments on all four documents is 12 September 2008.

2) Draft Proposed Strategic Development Plan Area (This consultation has now closed)

The SDPA is required to submit a proposed boundary to Scottish Ministers for the area to be covered by future strategic development plans (SDPs), with a submission deadline of 25 September 2008. A draft SDP boundary and justification have been proposed which includes the whole of Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire but excludes that part of Aberdeenshire within the Cairngorms National Park. The draft boundary can be viewed on Google Maps and the consultation has been advertised in the local press.
