Eastern Area Local Plan
What is the Eastern Area Local Plan ?
It is part of the Development Plan which comprises the Structure Plan and the Local Plans.
It is the land-use plan covering the area which extends from
Coupar Angus to Strathardle and Glenshee. It contains detailed
guidance on where we will encourage development and where it is
unlikely to be allowed. It guides day-to-day planning decisions and
influences the determination of planning applications.
Where can I get a copy of the Plan?
You can view or download the Local Plan from
this page.
Alternatively if you want a printed copy of
the Plan you should send a cheque to us for £15 at the
address at the bottom of this page.
Will it be reviewed?
We began a review of the Eastern Area Local Plan (this Draft Eastern Area Local Plan [pdf,
7.4MB] can be viewed here), but following advice from the
Scottish Government, we decided not to progress this plan and
instead will replace it with a Local Development Plan, which will cover the
entire Council area.
What settlements are in the Plan area?
The main settlements are Blairgowrie/Rattray, Coupar Angus and
Alyth. A number of other villages and small settlements are
included stretching from Spittal of Glenshee in the North to
Campmuir in the south and from Meigle in the east to Straloch in
the west. You can view a map showing the extents of the Plan
[pdf,223kb] from this page.
What are the key aims of the Plan?
- To keep the villages alive by allowing for modest development
appropriate to their size and character.
- To provide a choice of industrial sites in the main
settlements to meet the needs of local and new business, with the
aim of reducing commuting to Dundee and Perth.
- To ensure the viability of rural areas by encouraging the
retention of services.
