Land and property
West Lothian Council has a number of services that involve property, from Planning and Development Control to leasing commercial property owned by the council.
Follow the links below to find out more about Council Services:
Property Management & Development (PM&D)
PM&D’s main responsibility is to manage those properties that are owned by West Lothian Council, but which aren’t used for the direct delivery of council services. We also manage the council’s headquarter buildings, and provide professional property advice and support to other council services. We are involved in the provision of new sites and properties to encourage the economic development of West Lothian.
Planning Services
Developers, businesses or local residents who are a considering a new development or a property extension, can access advice and assistance on the approvals and consents needed from the council’s Planning Services team. You may also need help with listed building consent or advertisement consent.
Supplementary Planning Guidance
The council has produced a number of SPG documents and developer contribution policies for applicants.
Development Plan
The structure plan and local plan provide guidance on the location of development across West Lothian.
Building Standards
For building warrant applications, completion certificates, a "letter of comfort", or to report a dangerous building.
