Planning Aid Scotland

Planning Aid Scotland (PAS) is an independent charity which offers free, impartial and confidential planning advice, provided by staff and volunteers all of whom are chartered planners.

Architects Registration Board

As a local authority we are unable to recommend an individual architect.

However, in order to safeguard members of the public, homeowners and developers and help them make an informed decision you can use the following link to the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

The ARB regulates the architects profession in the UK and maintains the Architects Register in the UK and you can check that the person you are considering to use as an architect is genuine.
