Manifesto here
- ...we will create a new dedicated Cabinet level Minister for Enterprise and Jobs, taking responsibility for Enterprise, Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. This post will replace the two existing junior ministerial posts.
- Despite the new Planning legislation, it is clear that the current regime is not helping drive economic growth. We will therefore establish a business-led review of the planning system to report by March 2012 on how we can improve the design and operation of the planning regime to raise economic growth whilst recognising local needs and wishes.
- To address the difficulties that developers and self-builders have in getting new properties connected to the mains water supply, we will impose upon Scottish Water a requirement to complete the work within three months of planning permission in detail being granted for development.
- To safeguard Scotland’s landscape, we will introduce national strategic planning guidance for onshore wind to prevent inappropriately sited or sized windfarms. This will provide certainty to both communities and developers.
- ...we will amend National Planning Framework 2 in order to designate the replacement of existing nuclear power generating capacity as National Developments.
