  10.

  11. Parliament’s response • Process: • Public engagement • Parliament’s role • Content and relationship with wider policy: • links overlap and synergies: peatland, waste, heat, sustainable patterns of development, flooding, climate change adaptation, infrastructure investment, active travel • National developments: • General support for proposals • Additional national developments suggested: e.g. national ecological network, rail freight • Overall spatial balance: • South of Scotland, rural areas, Glasgow, Aberdeen • Wider comments on planning performance • resourcing, role and effectiveness of development plans • SPP • Greater clarity on key issues: wind and wild land, unconventional gas • Calls for additional guidance: restoration, flooding, waste, sustainable transport

  12. Next steps • Have regard to Parliament’s comments • Finalise NPF3 and SPP • Respond to Parliament • Conformity report (Participation Statement commitments) • Conclude assessments (e.g. SEA Post Adoption Statement, HRARecord) • Publish June 2014

  13. Development Planning ForumIntegration of Community Planning and Development Planning

  14. Background • Parliamentary scrutiny of NPF3 and SPP • Local Government and Regeneration Committee: • How will NPF3 / SPP support community planning? • How do SOAs ensure connections between land use and community planning

  15. Minister for Local Government and Planning:“I fully acknowledge there is a need to strengthen the links between land use planning and community planning. I expect this to improve….to instigate change, I will ensure that the matter is discussed at the Scottish Government’s national development planning forum in March 2014”

  16. Scope for stronger links? • SOAs aim to be ‘plans for place’ • Shared agenda: • Infrastructure improvements, regeneration, population change, greener and safer neighbourhoods, improved health, better services, employment, civic pride and community identity • locality based approaches within community planning • …but requires partnership working / people to make the links • issuing guidance is not the answer • relationships and collaboration • locally specific solutions

  17. Is this already happening? • Do we need to strengthen the links? • Can we demonstrate the benefits of closer alignment? • Are there examples of how this works within local authorities? • Would it be helpful SG to gather and share best practice? • Other opportunities for improvement?
