The community council would like to invite everyone in the community to give us your views on our place and how it can be improved to contribute to our Local Place Plan through this very Short SURVEY.
A Local Place Plan (LPP) is a community-led plan that outlines a community’s vision for the development and use of land in their area:
- Purpose LPPs are a way for communities to share their ideas and aspirations for the places they live, work, and spend time in. They can help communities develop and deliver their own projects, and their proposed solutions can influence local planning policy.
- Who can prepare them LPPs must be prepared by a Community Council or a “community-controlled body”.
- What they include LPPs should set out priorities for future development, and may identify land and buildings that the community considers to be of particular significance.
- How they are prepared LPPs should take into account the local development plan and the Scottish Government’s Strategic National Planning Framework. They may also require a specialized design element from an architect or urban designer.
- How they are registered LPPs must meet a particular set of criteria to be considered valid by a planning authority.
