How we use your information
We check, validate, and register Local Place Plans as prepared by any community council or community controlled body within Aberdeen City Council development planning area. The information we collect is used to contact you in relation to Local Place Planning.
We are legally required to provide a register of Local Place Plans and accompanying information, and a map of Local Place Plan areas. You can find the Aberdeen City Council directory and map of registered Local Place Plans on our website.
If you provide us with an indication of the location of your proposed Local Place Plan area, we will display it as an indicator dot on our map register, together with your organisation’s name, web address (if it has one) and email address (if it has one).
When your Local Place Plan area is confirmed, we will show the boundary of your Local Place Plan area as a solid line on our map register, together your organisation’s name, web address (if it has one) and email address (if it has one). When your Local Place Plan and supporting documents have been validated, we will add these to our Local Place Plan directory.
The email address and postal address you provide along with your Local Place Plan will be published on the directory so that members of your local community can contact you regarding the plan. We will not display any phone numbers on our Local Place Plan directory and map register.
How long we keep information for
Local Place Plan’s will be kept and a list of them published on the Council’s website until the emerging Local Development Plan is itself replaced. This is likely to be around five years, following its adoption.
