Planning Aid for Scotland (PAS) has launched its new website alongside new Facebook and Twitter pages.

The new website (www.planningaidscotland.org.uk, is a major revamp designed to communicate the vital role of PAS and the range of services it provides to communities across Scotland.

Petra Biberbach, Chief Executive of Planning Aid for Scotland, said: "The new website not only clarifies PAS’ role and purpose, it’s also a vital tool for any individual or community group seeking to influence the planning system in Scotland.


"The planning reforms and the culture change agenda are creating an increased interest in planning and in Planning Aid for Scotland. The new web site is a response to this and is designed for those already using PAS as well as those yet to benefit.

“The website comes at an important time, as e-planning is encouraging more people to interact with planning online. It will become a major access point for information and advice on planning and help people engage at the earliest opportunity. I would also encourage everyone to join us on Twitter and Facebook and give their feedback on the new website.”
