Planning and land rules in Peterhead
Planning obligations in Scotland are made under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and can cover affordable housing and infrastructure. Once registered against the title, they can bind future owners. Under NPF4, national and major developments must also leave biodiversity in a demonstrably better state. These costs shape what development land near Peterhead is worth, which is why our free appraisal explains them before any offer or promotion terms are agreed.
Renting privately in Peterhead? Since December 2017, almost all new private lets in Scotland are private residential tenancies, which are open-ended: a landlord can only end one on specified grounds, not because a fixed term has finished. The Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 is bringing in further rent and eviction measures. New-build buyers usually receive a structural warranty and may want a snagging survey before settlement. We have no homes available yet, but you can register interest.

Your questions answered for Peterhead
What is a new-build warranty?
It is an insurance-backed policy covering certain defects in a new home for a set period after completion. The builder is usually responsible for most defects early in the cover, and the warranty provider covers major structural problems later. Most mortgage lenders expect a recognised warranty, or a professional consultant's certificate, before they lend on a new home.
Do you have any new homes for sale or rent?
Not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes, plots or developments for sale or rent at the moment. You can register interest with the area and type of home you want, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. We do not take reservations, fees or deposits at this stage.
What is a local development plan and why does it matter?
The development plan sets out where new homes and other development should go, and it is the starting point for planning decisions. In England it is usually called the Local Plan; Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have Local Development Plans. Land allocated for housing, or next to a settlement where policy supports growth, usually has stronger prospects.
What is planning permission?
Planning permission is consent from the planning authority to carry out development, such as building new homes or changing the use of land. Applications are judged against the local development plan and national policy, which differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Permission can be full, or outline, which is called planning permission in principle in Scotland.
Is Peterhead an area you cover for land?
Yes, we cover land in Peterhead and elsewhere in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire, including Aberdeen, Stonehaven and Inverurie. Where a site suits us we can buy it directly, or set up an option or promotion agreement. On promotion there is nothing to pay upfront.
