SCOTTISH PLANNING POLICY 7: PLANNING and FLOODING
I am pleased to enclose a copy of Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) 7: Planning and Flooding which replaces National Planning Policy Guideline (NPPG) 7. SPP 7 sets out the Scottish Executive's planning policy on new development and flooding.
We are grateful to the planning authorities, Homes for Scotland, the Royal Town Planning Institute, CoSLA, Scottish Water, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Association of British Insurers, Glasgow and Clyde Valley Structure Plan Team, the Scottish Construction Industry Group and the Society of Chief Officers of Transportation in Scotland for their assistance through the Advisory Group.
The SPP refers to the Planning Advice Note on Flooding which will also include advice on Building Standards issues. This will cover a lot of the issues on which consultees sought advice and elaboration. Work on this is well advanced and it is expected to be issued in the near future.
Further copies of the SPP and PAN are available from the Scottish Executive Development Department, Planning Division, Area 2-H, Victoria Quay, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ (0131 244 7066) and on the Scottish Executive web site at www.scotland.gov.uk/planning.
Yours faithfully
ALAN DENHAM
Assistant Chief Planner
