Select the application route and development category, then tick the relevant constraints. Your consultation shortlist updates as you go.
Application & development
Mixed proposal? Add other categories
Include every relevant component. Results are combined without duplicate consultees.
Manual constraint checks
Review every group. Tick where a feature or potential effect applies, including off-site effects. No maps or spatial queries are used.
Unknown constraints require an officer check; an empty list is not a clearance.
Sources, limitations & local setup
Prepared 24 September 2026. This is a screening prototype, not a complete legal rules database or an approved council procedure. Source links should be checked for amendments and current agency thresholds before use.
Suggested local referrals are design recommendations, not verified West Lothian Council standing instructions. Agree these with your team before operational use. The editable CATEGORIES, CONSTRAINT_GROUPS, LOCAL_PROFILES and evaluate() function are all inside this HTML file.
The fee categories classify development, not consultation duties. For permission in principle the fee regulations use a separate Table 2; Table 1 descriptions are retained here only to identify the underlying development. Special consent routes need their own procedural checks.
