The Scottish Government introduced some changes to planning legislation through paragraph 9(2) of Schedule 6, Part 3 the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 (the CV Act) which enables us as planning authority to use alternative methods for sharing weekly lists of planning applications validated and decided, and for making the public aware of applications which would normally have a notice displayed on site.
We are not able to provide paper copies of the lists at public locations and we are not able to visit sites to post notices as these actions may give rise to a significant risk of the transmission of coronavirus or are likely to be ineffective or inappropriate due to action taken in order to control the incidence or transmission of coronavirus.
