Important announcement

Due to operational issues, regrettably, some of our food waste collections have been suspended. If your food caddy is not collected on its scheduled day, please take your bin in and present it on your next collection day. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and we’re working hard to remedy the situation.

The Scottish Government requires all planning authorities to prepare a Development Plan Scheme (DPS) at least annually.

The purpose of the DPS is to set out the planning authority's programme for preparing and reviewing its Local Development Plan. In particular, it sets out:

  • The proposed timetable
  • Any changes or updates to the programme
  • Details of what is likely to be involved at each stage of preparation
  • A Participation Statement outlining when, how and with whom, consultation will take place.

You can view the current East Dunbartonshire Development Plan Scheme 2025 as a Story Map. Alternatively, reference copies of the DPS and Participation Statement are available to view in all public libraries within the Council area.
