    Land use audits

    Land audits inform the preparation of Local Development Plans, as well as providing information to Scottish Government and key infrastructure agencies in guiding future network investments.

    The Planning Service prepares an annual housing land audit. The audit monitors housing sites with a capacity of 4, or more, new houses over the period 1 April to 31 March. They include information on housing completions and programming for the completion of housing sites that are:

    • allocated in the Local Development, and or
    • have planning permission
