Dear Gary Templeton
Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997
Moray Structure Plan
The Scottish Ministers have decided to approve the Moray Structure Plan with modifications. 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 Structure Plan as submitted, the Scottish Ministers have considered such other matters as they thought relevant.
The Structure Plan is approved subject to a number of modifications which are set out in Annex 1 to this letter. At Annex 2 are comments on the objections 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 plan, as modified, is founded primarily on consideration of the policies and proposals, it relates to the plan as a whole. It should be understood that the Scottish Ministers' approval of the plan does not convey approval of any matter therein for any other statutory purpose. In particular it does not commit the Scottish Ministers, or any Government Department, to the payment of grant on any particular project or to the amount or timing of any capital expenditure.
The Plan shall become operative on 2 April 2007.
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 Plan, 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 annexes to all those who have made representations since the Structure Plan was submitted.
Yours sincerely
Miss Kristen Anderson
Senior Planner
