Plans afoot - help shape our response to Scottish Government consultation on community engagement in local development plans

The Scottish Government is consulting on guidance for effective community engagement in the local development planning process. The guidance forms part of the Government’s work on reform of the planning system and implementation of the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019. The consultation runs until 13th September 2023.

SCDC will be contributing a response and would like to hear from any community organisations or others in our network who would like to help us. How we work with you will be determined by the level of interest and also how you would prefer to contribute.

To express interest in being involved in developing a response, please complete the following form below. Please let us know by the end of June 2023 so we can have an idea of numbers.
