The Planning & Licensing Committee reviews and responds to planning applications and licensing matters that affect St Andrews, helping to ensure development in our town is appropriate, sustainable, and respectful of its unique character.
We work on behalf of the community to consider how proposals—ranging from new buildings to changes in land use or licensing applications—might impact residents, businesses, heritage, and the environment. Our aim is to support positive growth while safeguarding what makes St Andrews special.
The committee regularly consults with local people, developers, and Fife Council to reflect community views in its responses. We encourage residents to share their thoughts on applications and policy matters so that local voices are part of the planning process.
By staying informed and involved, we can shape the future of St Andrews together.
