Scottish government to launch 'planning hub' in the new year

Planning approval stamp

The Scottish government will offer 30 bursaries for postgraduate studies in planning in 2025/26

The Scottish government has announced fresh measures to help planning authorities speed up approvals.

The government will launch a new housing planning hub in early 2025 to increase the rate at which planning permission for homes is granted. 

To increase the number of planners, the government has said it will triple the number of student bursaries available in 2025/26, from 10 to 30, to encourage more future planners and address staff shortages.
