Chance to make representations on proposed Local Development Plan
A number of drop-in events will be held in February and March
where members of the public can make representations about the
proposed Local Development Plan (LDP) for Perth and Kinross.
On 10th January 2012 the Council approved the proposed Perth
& Kinross Local Development Plan. The proposed LDP sets out the
Council's vision for future development across the area and
identifies a land-use framework for housing development, employment
land, transport infrastructure and areas of environmental
importance that will be protected.
It brings together previously separate local area plans and
policies into one comprehensive document that considers the future
sustainable development of the whole of Perth and Kinross
The proposed LDP includes:
* Plans for a new Cross Tay Link Road route corridor, from the A9
north of Inveralmond linking to the A93 and A94 north of
Scone.
* A boundary for the Perth Green Belt.
* Land identified for thousands of additional houses to be built
before 2024 around Perth and Kinross.
* Land identified for employment use to ensure the economy of Perth
and Kinross can be competitive and grow sustainably.
Make your views known
A period of representation on the proposals will be held
from 30th January - 10th April 2011. This will provide people with
a final opportunity to consider the proposals and make views known
on whether they wish to see any changes to the plan.
From the 30th January 2012 the Proposed Plan will be available
to view online here. Copies can also
be viewed in public libraries, local area offices and community
campuses.
