Responsibility for the planning system in Scotland is shared between the Scottish Government and Local government in Scotland. Any new construction project, or projects that will alter the use, appearance, and other changes to the use of land of buildings in Scotland, is subject to planning permission under Scots law. Currently, the planning system in Scotland is made up of three main parts – Development Plans, Development Management, and Enforcement – each with varying processes.[1]
