Document Description
Building Development – standards and guidelines Building Standards have a wide range of responsibilities that relate to almost all building and alteration works and their overriding purpose is to safeguard people in and around buildings and the conservation of fuel and energy.
Development Plan This plan made up of the Structure Plan and the Local Plans which show how much development may take place, where it will take place and where it is unlikely to be allowed.
Local Plans These contain detailed guidance on where we will encourage development and where it is unlikely to be allowed.  They are an essential point of reference for anyone who wants to build in Perth and Kinross or to know what could be built in your local area and each plan provides a statement of the planning policies and proposals for that area.
Structure Plan This plan, together with the Local Plans, is used by us for making decisions on development proposals and should be used by citizens before making or commenting on a planning application.
Sustainable Development Framework To demonstrate its commitment and leadership we have agreed a Sustainability Framework to help us be more systematic about how we promote our sustainability objectives.
