Thinking of Developing in Glasgow

Start with Pre-Planning Advice

Before committing to a site or advancing your development proposal, it is crucial to understand the planning policy framework that may influence your plans. Engaging early with Glasgow City Council's planning team through pre-application advice can help de-risk your project by identifying potential issues, saving time, resources, and cost.

Glasgow's City Development Plan provides a strategic framework for where and how development is supported across the city. It informs investment decisions, safeguards community interests, and supports sustainable economic growth.

Why Speak to Glasgow's Planning Team First?

Before committing to a site or investing in detailed designs, it makes sound business sense to speak to Glasgow City Council's planning team. Early engagement helps determine whether your proposal aligns with the City Development Plan - a key factor in the likelihood of securing planning permission. 

By accessing expert guidance at the outset, you can avoid costly delays, refine your proposals if necessary, and progress with greater confidence. It's a strategic step that can significantly improve your project's chances of success.
