Applying for development plan approval

Development plan approval (DPA) is a free service from Registers of Scotland. 

DPA can help you register a new development quickly. It can also reduce the risk of applications being rejected if you register individual plots. 

Who can apply

You must have a title in the Land Register of Scotland before you can apply for DPA. DPA cannot be completed against a sasine recorded title.

How to apply

Send your information to Registers of Scotland to apply for DPA.

  • where to send your application
  • what you need to provide
  • where to get support
  • a list of developments already approved
