NEW - Planning: The Short Term Lets Deadline Approaching
The deadline for submitting Short Term Let applications in Scotland is approaching. The cut-off time for applications before the deadline is 23:59 on Saturday 30th September 2023.
You can submit your Application for Planning Permission or apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness through our ePlanning service. However, licences for short-term lets cannot be applied for through our service - for advice and to apply for a licence, we recommend contacting your Planning Authority. Contact details for all Scottish authorities can be found here.
For assistance in using the ePlanning service, you can contact our eDevelopment Support Desk via the Support Tab (top right of this page) or by emailing eDevelopment@gov.scot.
IMPORTANT - Prior Notification and Prior Approval (April 2021)
Users wishing to make applications for Prior Notification or Prior Approval for Peatland Restoration projects (under class 20A) or for the Conversion of Existing Agricultural/Forestry Buildings to Residential or Commercial Use (under Class 18B, 18C, 22A or 22B) are asked to apply using the paper form and not apply on the ePlanning site.
We have updated the pdf form for making a Prior Notification and Prior Approval application and the Guidance for making a Prior Notification and Prior Approval. Users can use these forms and submit them directly to their planning authority instead of filling out the form on ePlanning.
