Development Plan Update - December 2009
The current Clackmannanshire Development Plan was prepared under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. It comprises of the following elements in land use and planning policy:
- Clackmannanshire and Stirling Structure Plan 2002 with 3 Alterations
- 1st Alteration: Agriculture and Forestry
- 2nd Alteration: Renewable Energy
- 3rd Alteration: Clackmannanshire Housing Land
- Clackmannanshire Local Plan 2004 with 1 Alteration
Consultation
The Clackmannanshire Local Plan Finalised 1st Alteration (Housing land) was approved on 5th November 2009 by the Council for public consultation and is included in our consultation database.
The Alteration was published and available for comments from 2nd December 2009 until Friday 29th January 2010.
The Council also arranged other specific initiatives to help secure meaningful engagement during the consultation period on the Finalised Alteration to the Local Plan (Housing land), for example public surgeries were held during December and January 2010.
A new Development Plan
The planning system in Scotland has been modernised under the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 with substantive changes in how the Development Plan is to be prepared and implemented in future. Clackmannanshire Council is required to produce a Local Development Plan (LDP) for the area. The LDP will be a complete review of the current Development Plan.
A Development Plan Scheme for the LDP was published in March 2009 and it indicates that a first key step and stage towards preparing the new Plan is to consult on what the pressing issues are for the area. This is to be contained in a Main Issues Report supported by a Monitoring Statement that provides the evidence base for any proposed Plan.
The Development Plan Scheme shows that both the Main Issues Report and Monitoring Statement are to be published and open to public consultation from April 2010.
The proposed LDP and proposed LDP Action Plan along with a published Environmental Report and Appropriate Assessment are to be published for public consultation from February 2011.
Further update to help you keep track of progress in the LDP formulation will be provided here in due course.
