Where have all the details gone...

Well I must say I am shocked; shocked, confused, disappointed and worried.

What is the cause of this anxiety you may ask?

There must be something wrong I thought, so I checked some other new style plans and searched for key words such as 'hectare' and 'density'. There were no such words to be found. I then had an idea, look on the Scottish Planning Directorates web site for guidance and this is what I found:
