Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the decision-making process on planning applications take?
A: We have two months to determine most applications. If it is going to take longer than eight weeks to reach a decision on your application, we will inform you in writing of the reasons for the delay.
Q: How can I get copies of the plans of my house?
A: Contact the building firm responsible for building your house. Alternatively, if your house was built recently, you can apply to us for a copy of the plans under Freedom of Information (FoI) regulations. You can make an FoI enquiry through our "Freedom of Information" webpage.
Q: How can I look at the planning history file for an existing building?
A: You can either visit the Planning Service at Council Headquarters, Eastwood Park, Giffnock, or you can apply for a Property Enquiry report by contacting (0141) 577 3001. Please note that there is a charge for obtaining a Property Enquiry.
Q: How can I find out whether planning permission has been granted for something which is currently being built?
A: You can find out what planning permissions have been granted for a specific address by phoning our Customer Services team on (0141) 577 3001.
Q: How is a decision on a planning application made?
A: Straightforward applications are processed by our Development Control section. More controversial applications are decided by the Planning Applications Committee, and in some instances by the Scottish Ministers.
