Perth Central Local Plan
What is the Perth Central Local Plan ?
It is part of the Development Plan which comprises the Structure Plan and the Local Plans.
It is the
land-use plan [PDF: 100Kb] covering
Perth City Centre [PDF: 1.2Mb]. Its boundaries are the North
and South Inches, the River Tay and to the west Caledonian Road. 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 are the key aims of the Plan?
The key aims of the Plan are:
- To concentrate development in the city centre to minimise land
requirements and reduce the need to travel.
- To maintain Perth City as the main centre for shopping,
commercial, leisure and service activity.
