Planning Aid For Scotland

The North East Scotland Together Structure Plan indicated that Kemnay was a Rural Service Area and should have no more than 20 new houses built between 2007 and 2011.

However, developers have  obtained permission to build 102 houses beside Bogbeth Park, and 14 flats at Bridgend. The original plan for Fyfe Park called for 20 new homes.  However, developers have submitted plans for 54 houses. Your Community Council has received a map which shows where developers propose to build over 100 more houses in and around our village.

If you are concerned about the amount of development you see going on in and around Kemnay, and would like to have a voice in what the Aberdeenshire Planners are preparing for our village then you will want to attend the Planning Aid for Scotland Workshop on Saturday afternoon, 25 April from 2-5.30 pm, in the Village Hall. 

The workshop is being held in partnership with Planning Aid for Scotland and Cllr Allison Grant of Aberdeenshire Council. The Planning for People^TM workshop takes the mystique out of the planning system and helps people to make informed choices when it comes to planning. The workshop is for anyone with an interest in land use, planning or community regeneration and will cover the following subjects:

How the planning system works

The role of the community in planning

Development Management- what needs planning permission?

How best to consider and respond to planning applications and issues

Next Steps - how to make your voice heard when it comes to planning

The workshop will be delivered by Planning Aid for Scotland volunteers, all of whom are professionally qualified town planners.
