Planning Aid for Scotland
- Planning Aid for Scotland
Planning Aid for Scotlandwas established in 1993 to provide people across Scotland with information and support to engage in the planning system.
Planning Aid for Scotland works with people and communities to shape Scotland's future, providing support and information when people need it. Most of our information and training is delivered free of charge to the public.
Planning Aid for Scotland's aim is to provide independent advice, information, training and support on planning and related environmental matters for citizens and community groups across Scotland.
The organisation has three main strands of activity. Firstly, the organisation provides community groups and the public with advice and information, such as through its [http://www.planningaidscotland.org.uk/ website] , leaflets and free professional advice on specific cases. Secondly, training for local community groups on how to get more involved in planning, particularly in development plan reviews. And thirdly, action-related research to support greater community involvement in planning and build bridges between different stakeholders in the planning system.
At the heart of Planning Aid for Scotland is a core of over a hundred volunteers, the vast majority of whom are professionally-qualified planners who give freely of their time. The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Ian Angus. Each Director is also a volunteer.
The organisation has a core of [http://www.planningaidscotland.org.uk/index.php?cid=10 paid staff] led by Petra Biberbach, Executive Director.
Funding comes from the Scottish Government, local authorities, the Friends of Planning Aid for Scotland, and a mixture of other grants and donations.
Planning Aid for Scotland is one of a network of Planning Aid organisations that cover the whole of the UK. For more information on Planning elsewhere in the UK see this article on Planning Aid.
