Planning Aid Scotland is a charity and social enterprise. We help people to shape the future of their place and community by engaging with the planning system, in an open and inclusive way.

Objectives: (i) To advance the education of the public by informing members of the public how the town and country planning system works and in particular how planning applications and appeals are made and determined and how local and strategic plans are prepared. (ii) To provide, to individuals and local groups who are unable to afford a planning consultant, free and professional advice, independent of local authorities, on particular town and country planning problems, issues or decisions. (iii) To explain to individuals or local groups the technical, administrative and legal matters associated with planning and environmental problems, issues or decisions and to assist individuals and local groups to participate constructively in the planning process.
