Podcasts

To prepare people for the major planning reforms launched in 2009, Planning Aid for Scotland produced a series of podcasts to show how our free advice service can help people take part in the new system. Whether it's about having a say in the development of your area, making alterations to your home or something else.

Produced in partnership with staff and students studying broadcasting and journalism at the Adam Smith College in Fife, the podcasts feature various case studies and include the views of volunteers and clients who have contacted the advice service for help.
