Aberdeen is set to adopt its new Local Plan later this month.

The Scottish Government informed Aberdeen City Council in writing that it has no objection to elected members formally adopting the Local Plan at the full council meeting on June 25.

The Local  Plan is the statutory development document for the city, which sets out detailed proposals on land use. It aims to match development needs and continued economic vitality with environmental protection and the creation of sustainable communities.

Public consultations on land for more homes for Aberdeen starts today.

Aberdeen City Council is launching public consultations on the potential release of land to provide more family and affordable homes in the city.

The 10-week consultation period will focus on eight sites earmarked in the Aberdeen Local Plan, as modified, for new homes in the period 2006-2010.

Feedback from the consultations will be the subject of a report to city councillors. They will then vote on whether to allow residential development on the sites in principle, subject to the consideration of detailed matters arising during the planning process.
