Saying what we think; again.





Having posted a little on three of the five latest consultations from the Scottish Government, here is a little on what I'll call 'number four'.


This is a consultation on 'Miscellaneous Amendments on the Planning System'.  


The introduction to the document informs us that, 'The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on draft legislation for a number of refinements and amendments to the procedures on development management, schemes of delegation, local reviews and appeals.'


Matters covered in this consultation include:

The proposed removal of PAC
requirements in relation to Section 42 Applications.


Proposed changes to advertising requirements - Planning Applications/ Neighbour Notification

restrictions on the delegation of planning authority interest cases

A section which proposes a change to allow an extended period for
the determination of an application to be agreed upon between the applicant
and appointed person where local review procedures would apply.


Automatic deemed refusal on certain local review cases.


Amendments to Appeals Regulations.


Approval of matters specified in conditions (AMSC)



The proposed removal of the restrictions on the delegation of planning authority interest cases.



There are a total of questions asked in connection with this consultation on the matters as set out above and Question 12 is:

Are there are any issues in this consultation not covered by a specific question or any other aspects of the current planning legislation on which you would like to comment? 
If so, please elaborate.


An Answer to Question 12 at least should surely be worth considering and submitting.
