PLANNING SERIES:
- Scottish Planning Policies (
SPPs) provide statements of
Scottish Executive policy on nationally important land
use and other planning matters, supported where
appropriate by a locational framework.
- Circulars, which also provide
statements of Scottish Executive policy, contain
guidance on policy implementation through legislative
or procedural change.
- Planning Advice Notes (
PANs) provide advice on
good practice and other relevant information.
Statements of Scottish Executive policy contained in
SPPs and Circulars may be material
considerations to be taken into account in development plan
preparation and development management.
Existing National Planning Policy Guidelines (
NPPGs) have continued relevance to
decision making, until such time as they are replaced by a
SPP. The term
SPP should be interpreted as including
NPPGs.
Statements of Scottish Executive location-specific
planning policy, for example the West Edinburgh Planning
Framework, have the same status in decision making as
SPPs.
The National Planning Framework sets out the strategy
for Scotland's long-term spatial development. It has the
same status as
SPPs and provides a national context for
development plans and planning decisions and the ongoing
programmes of the Scottish Executive, public agencies and
local government.
Important Note: In the interests of
brevity and conciseness, Scottish Planning Policies do NOT
repeat policy across thematic boundaries. Each
SPP takes as read the general policy in
SPP1, and highlights the other
SPPs where links to other related policy
will be found. The whole series of
SPPs should be taken as an integral
policy suite and read together.
