Well, you wait for a bus for ages and then three come along at once; isn't that what they say/
We know have no less than five consultations set out by the Scottish Government on planning matters with the closing date for responses to each of the five set at 22 June 2012
Of these five consultations, I will deal briefly with three and leave two to the next blog post:
The consultation on 'Development Delivery', '...seeks
initial views from all sectors of the development industry in relation to current
issues and opportunities for facilitating development and infrastructure provision.
Our intention is to use the findings and output from this consultation to inform a
second consultation (Stage 2) which shall investigate the detail of potential
proposals or measures to assist with development delivery.' More here
With respect to the consultation on 'General Permitted Development...', 'The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on draft legislation for a number of refinements and amendments to the non-domestic elements of the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO)...'. The sorts of things covered here include, Access Ramps, Caravan Sites, Harbours, Hill Tracks, Hospitals, Care Homes, Offices, Open Air Markets, Pavement Cafes etc Much more here
Then there is a consultation on 'Fees for Planning Applications' which states that, 'The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on draft regulations that set out a new fee structure and level for planning applications in Scotland.' and that, 'The changes are being proposed to ensure that the fees associated with processing planning applications reflect more closely the resource required to provide an effective service: it is not the Government‟s intention that proposed fee levels should exceed the costs of providing the service or that authorities should make financial gain from providing the developmentmanagement service.' Much more here
