We are a partner in the eDevelopment.scot programme, which has refreshed and changed the ePlanning process.
Online applications are simple, save applicants time and money and allow us to start considering proposed developments more quickly than was previously the case.
The first phase replaced ePlanning Scotland (introduced in 2009) with the new ePlanning.scot online application portal.
Before you start a new application you will need to take a few moments to register on ePlanning.scot
eDevelopment.scot programme introduced online building warrant applications through eBuildingstandards.scot.
You can find out more about how the changes will affect existing ePlanning and eBuilding Standards on the Scottish Government eDevelopment website.
ePlanning Scotland
You can now lodge your planning application online through ePlanning Scotland. This is a national portal involving all planning authorities in Scotland which receives applications and appeals online and transfers the processing of planning applications from paper to electronic media.
An overview of ePlanning video
By registering you can now make a planning application or appeal via the internet.
The ePlanning Online Planning Information System (OPIS) publishes application records, documents and plans for public view.
If you are interested in any application - whether a householder alteration or major retail development, you can now search and view plans and associated documents online and track those applications from validation to decision.
Benefits of ePlanning video
The system is able to receive online comments. All comments are made available for the public to view online.
When commenting on an application you should keep your comments to planning matters only and avoid using any potentially defamatory remarks, for example about financial circumstances, criminal convictions or personal information which could lead to legal action being taken against you.
We reserve the right to amend any comment and remove any defamatory statements brought to our attention. We recommend that you view the ePlanning Acceptable Use guide.

Applications prior to 1 January 1999
