24 November 2003

Dear Madam

The Scottish Ministers have decided to approve the First Alteration to the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Struture Plan, which was submitted on 25 April 2003. In reaching their decision they have considered all representations and objections made to them in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Structure and Local Plans) (Scotland) Regulations 1983. In addition to the matters taken into account in the Alteration as submitted, the Scottish Ministers have considered such other matters as they thought relevant.

The Alteration is approved without modification. At Annex A to this letter are comments on objections made to the Scottish Ministers during public consultation on the submitted Alteration where the Scottish Ministers have not accepted the substance of the objections and propose no modifications to the Alteration in respect of them.

Whilst the Scottish Ministers' approval of the Alteration is founded primarily on consideration of the policies and general purposes, it relates to the Alteration as a whole. It should be understood that the Scottish Ministers' approval of the Alteration does not convey approval of any matters therein for any other statutory purpose. In particular it does not commit the Scottish Ministers, or any Government Department, to the payment of grant for any particular project or to the amount or timing of any capital expenditure.

The Alteration shall become operative on 26 November 2003.

The foregoing decision is final, subject to the right conferred by Section 238 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 of any person aggrieved by the Scottish Ministers' decision to apply to the Court of Session within 6 weeks from the date of publication of the first notice of the approval of the Alteration, whereby the Court may quash the decision if satisfied that it is not within the powers of the Act or that the applicant's interests have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any requirement of the Act.

I am sending a copy of this letter and annex to the Structure Plan Manager, the Heads of Planning at East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow, Inverclyde, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire Councils and to those that have made representations.

Yours faithfully

DR G PURVES
