• Search the Draft Housing Land Audit 2012

The Housing Land Audit is carried out annually by Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City Councils to determine the extent and status of the housing land supply in the area. The audit is used to decide whether there is an adequate supply of land for housing.

Housing sites are included in the audit if they have a capacity of five units or more and meet one or more of the following criteria, as set out in Scottish Government Planning Advice Note 2/2010:

• Land with planning permission for residential development
• Land allocated for residential development in adopted development plans (LDP)
• Other land with agreed potential, such as land identified for housing in proposed LDPs or following an urban capacity study
