With the introduction of Scotland’s new planning system in 2019, Local Development Plans (LDPs), the spatial plans and policies designed to show how each local authority will change into the future, have undergone some reforms.
We are teaming up again with Planning Democracy to run another series of Winter Webinars on different aspects planning and nature.
Whether it is more green spaces, cycling infrastructure, social housing, or public transport, in theory getting it into your Local Development Plan (LDP) could be the best way to make it a reality.
Communities should be at the centre of Local Development Plans and the process should be made simple and straightforward for them to engage with, and that communities should be engaged proactively by the planning authorities.
