Proposed Local Development Plan
What is the Proposed Plan?
The Proposed Plan is a land use planning document which includes
a clear long-term sustainable settlement strategy that reflects
local needs, priorities and circumstances. The Plan will influence
the location and form of new development by providing a basis for
determining planning applications. The Proposed Plan represents the
Council's settled view as to what the final content of the Plan
should be and contains the following:
- A Vision Statement - this is a broad statement of how the
development of Perth & Kinross could and should occur and what
the area might look like in the future.
- A Spatial Strategy - this is a detailed statement of the
policies and development proposals which will help achieve the
vision.

What are the supporting documents to the Proposed Plan?
Proposed Plan Consultation.
The period of representation for the Proposed Plan,
Supplementary Guidance and Strategic Environmental Assessment has
now finished.
We would like to thank all those who have been involved in this
stage in the Plan, whether through making a representation and/or
attending one of the public information events.
If you have attended one of these events or have contacted the team
as part of the period of representation, we would appreciate if you
could complete this survey and help us improve future
consultations.
What happens next?
The Council must now consider all the representations received
and decide if it wishes to amend the Plan in response. If as
a result, changes are proposed to the Plan, a Modification(s) will
require to be published for a minimum consultation period of 6
weeks prior to submission to the Scottish Ministers. However,
if significant modifications are proposed which change the
underlying aims or strategy of the Proposed Plan, this will require
preparation and publication of a new Proposed Plan adding
approximately 12 months to the Plan timescales.
If no modifications are made, a summery of unresolved issues must
be prepared and submitted to Scottish Ministers along with the
Proposed Plan. They will then determine whether to appoint an
independent reporter(s) to undertake an examination in public.
