Dear Sir
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (SCOTLAND) ACT 1997
REPLACEMENT FIFE STRUCTURE PLAN
The Scottish Ministers have decided to approve this Fife Structure Plan, which was submitted on 31 January 2001. In reaching their decision they have considered all representations and and objections made to them in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Structure and Local Plans) (Scotland) Regulations 1983. In addition to the matters taken into account in the Plan as submitted, the Scottish Ministers have considered such other matters as they thought relevant.
The Plan is approved subject to a number of modifications, which are set out in Annex A and Annex B to this letter. At Annex C are comments on objections made to Scottish Ministers during public consultation on the submitted Plan and on the draft modifications, where the Scottish Ministers have not accepted the substance of the objections and propose no modifications in respect of them.
While the Scottish Ministers' approval of the Plan as modified, is founded primarily on consideration of the policies, it also extends to the Plan as a whole. However, it should be understood that the Scottish Ministers' approval of the Plan does not convey approval of any matter therein for any other statutory purpose. In particular it does not commit the Scottish Ministers, or any Government Department, to the payment of any grant on any particular project or timing of any capital expenditure.
The Plan shall become operative on 8 July 2002.
The foregoing decision is final, subject to the right, conferred by Section 238 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, of any person aggrieved by the Scottish Ministers' decision to apply to the Court of Session within 6 weeks from the date of publication of the first notice of approval of the Plan whereby the Court may quash the decision if satisfied that it is not within the powers of the Act or that the applicant's interests have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any requirement of the Act.
Yours faithfully
MIKE WAGGOT
Principal Planner
