SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES MAJOR CONSULTATION INTO FUTURE OF PLANNING REGIME
Deadline for written responses: 15th October 2010
The Scottish Government has launched a major consultation into the future of the Scottish planning system. Views are sought on how the planning service can be more effectively resourced and focused on quality of service. The paper also seeks views on options for amending the fee structure for planning applications.
The consultation, Resourcing a High Quality Planning System , seeks to address how the planning system in Scotland is to be properly resourced, both in terms of people and cash, to ensure it continues to drive future economic success. It looks specifically at two areas - fees associated with planning applications and resourcing at local authorities and other government agencies.
The consultation also introduces the idea of paying for Pre Application Discussions, where developers are able to seek the advice of local planning authorities before submitting a planning application.
