ALTERATIONS TO DEVELOPMENT PLANS
90. Under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, planning authorities could put forward alterations to their development plan which sought to review part of the plan. There is no provision for alterations under the 2006 Act, principally because the requirement to update development plans every 5 years will mean that there is little time to alter part of a plan before the whole plan needs to be reviewed. Nevertheless, under the new system, strategic development planning authorities and planning authorities will, in bringing forward new plans, be able to focus on the areas that need to change from the last plan rather than starting afresh each time. In most cases, the underlying strategy will stay the same from one plan to the next, with amendments to some of the policies and proposals.
