Update: Letter from Minister and Chief Planner

The Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning Kevin Stewart and Chief Planner John McNairney have written a letter to stakeholders to provide a further update on temporary legislation and guidance for our planning system while we continue to work through the pandemic. The letter also updates on progress on planning reform, including on NPF4, digital transformation and implementation of the 2019 Planning Act.

Local Place Plans - 'How to' Guide, Literature Review and Final Report

We commissioned the Scottish Community Development Centre and Nick Wright Planning to undertake a review of community-led planning in Scotland and to distil that learning into a draft 'How to' Guide aimed at supporting communities to prepare Local Place Plans. See the research report and draft 'How to' Guide. Whilst we are not consulting formally on the draft 'How to' Guide, we are keen to hear people's views on its contents. Please read our blog for more information.
