Perth Area Local Plan
What is the Perth 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 Perth City (with the exception
of the Central Area), the surrounding countryside and villages. 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 Perth Area and Perth Central
Local Plans (this Draft Perth Area Local Plan [pdf,
33MB] 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 settlement is Perth City. A number of other
villages and small settlements are included stretching from
Burrelton in the north to Glenfarg in the south and from
Invergowrie in the east to Methven in the west. You can view
a map showing the extent of the Plan
[pdf,223kb] from this page.
What are the key aims of the Plan?
- To develop Perth City as the main focus for economic
activity within Perth and Kinross
- To develop Perth City as the main centre for services
- To sustain rural and village community services by
allowing modest development within villages.
