If you are planning a new development that involves building new roads or altering existing transport infrastructure, it is essential to follow our Roads and Transport Guidelines.
These guidelines provide detailed information for submitting applications for planning permission or road construction consent. They outline the required procedures, design principles, and construction standards for roads and transport infrastructure that will be adopted by the local authority.
These documents apply to all developments that require:
- new road networks
- changes to existing road infrastructure

We also recommend referring to the SCOTS National Roads Development Guide, which complements our local guidance.
