Planning
Mearns Community Council can, in some instances, help community planning applications to get a 50% reduction on planning fees.
This would apply to projects where the whole community can access the proposed end product.
Groups such as Friends of Denlethen Woods, Auchenblae Parks Committee and Fettercairn Village Hall have all benefited from this support when making applications.
If you wish to do this you MUST contact your representative who will advise members. Should members agree, the request will be minuted. Failure to seek agreement from Mearns Community Council in advance of the application will result in the Community Council advising the planning department that they have no knowledge of the application.
Should the CC support a project this will be for one application and any subsequent applications need to follow the process.
Please find the most recent Weekly Planning List from Aberdeenshire Council.
Please note, MCC have lodged an objection to APP/2024/1951 ( Hurlie sub station).
