The Scottish government has launched a new consultation on whether permitted development rights (PDR) can play a greater role in helping to address the housing emergency.

This consultation primarily relates to potential PDR changes that might help to address the housing emergency. It also seeks views on measures to support the deployment of heat networks and domestic air source heat pumps.

Feedback from respondents will inform the formation and refinement of any proposals for new or amended PDR.

Find out more about the consultation at b.link/ScotGOV_PDRpaper and respond to the consultation before it closes on 27 October 2025 at b.link/ScotGOV_PDRconsult
