Supplementary Guidance and Non-Statutory Guidance supports the content of the Local Development Plan 2 by providing further detail on specific policy areas or strategic development sites. They help to inform applicants of the Council's expectations when determining planning applications. Supplementary Guidance documents are statutory, they have been subject to consultation and formal adoption procedures and they form part of the Local Development Plan.

Please note that following the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 coming into force, the development plan system is transitioning to one where supplementary guidance does not form part of the statutory development plan. The list of guidance above still forms part of the Development Plan for the Perth and Kinross Area and will continue to do so until LDP2 is replaced by our new LDP3. However, it is the intention of the Council to bring forward non-statutory supplementary guidance for key issues as part of our LDP review (LDP3), which will help guide development proposals and decision-making alongside the new LDP.
