How to submit a planning application in West Lothian
Use ePlanning Scotland to start an official application. West Lothian Council's planning-application pages provide the local portal route for viewing, commenting, following progress and finding weekly lists.
Project Intel is independent of West Lothian Council. It does not process applications; it helps users find the official action and browse separately published planning signals.
- Submit through ePlanning Scotland
- Search by street or application number
- View current and decided records in the official portal
- Use the official commenting route during the consultation period
Browse published West Lothian planning activity
Project Intel's public display currently includes 10 West Lothian records. The filtered page keeps its published records available for browsing, rather than presenting only a narrow set of high-scoring signals.
The Council's planning portal remains the authoritative source for the complete public register, current documents and decision information.
Planning records need careful interpretation
A planning record can be useful public evidence of proposed development or property change. It can help a visitor find an item that merits further research.
It is not proof of an available job, tender, procurement or supplier appointment. Check the official status and any relevant documents before drawing a conclusion.
