Did you know?

We have recently made some improvements to our online planning and building standards system - 

• It’s now easier to navigate, quicker to use and there are several new added features. You can register and create a user account which allows you to track applications, save searches and be sent email notifications when anything changes on your saved application or search.
• You can save searches for your area and you will be notified directly when any application is received.
• You can easily make comments on current planning developments as well as see comments made by other members of the public and agencies like the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and Scottish Water.
• Also you are now able to do a history search on any property you are interested in. It will show up any planning or building standards applications related to the property.

If you are looking for help or further information on any of this, please contact us.
