Need help with a planning issue?

Planning Aid for Scotland provides a free, impartial and professional advice service to help you understand and engage with the planning system. The service is provided by volunteers, who are all fully qualified and experienced planners based throughout Scotland.

Our experts give free advice on any planning issue, from home extensions, wind farms, schools, public spaces, new shopping centres and roads, how to support or object to planning applications, how to get planning permission and how to get involved with Development Plans. We also help with questions about planning appeals, enforcement and anything else.

The planning system can be complex but we will help you get the best possible outcome. For advice or information please complete the enquiry form below or call our helpline on 0845 603 7602.
