ANNEX F
FULL LIST OF CONSULTATION QUESTIONS
Q1 Are you satisfied that the procedures set out in the draft regulations for adopting development plan schemes will adequately ensure that planning authorities have proper programmes in place for the review of their plans, including their proposals for consultation and public involvement?
Q2 Do the regulations on SDP content need to say more to ensure that SDPs are effective tools for leading and managing change in the largest city-regions?
Q3 Do you support the approach to listing the key topics that need to be covered by policies at the strategic level and do you support the topics listed?
Q4 Is the move to an accurate map base for SDP Proposals Maps workable?
Q5 Do you support the continuing primacy of the written text of the SDP (or LDP) or would a move to primacy for the Proposals Map help to strengthen the spatial dimension of the plan?
Q6 Do you support the list of information and considerations that the SDPA must take into account when preparing a SDP or main issues report?
Q7 Are there any other matters which the regulations should require always to be included in LDPs, or on the Proposals Map?
Q8 Are there any other information sources or considerations that planning authorities should be required to have regard to in preparing LDPs and how can planning authorities demonstrate that they have complied with these requirements?
(Q9 and Q10 are intended to relate to both the SDP and LDP processes.)
Q9 Are the minimum publication requirements set out in the proposed regulations adequate, or should additional requirements be included, for instance specifying a list of statutory consultees for development planning?
Q10 Is the requirement to place a notice in the Edinburgh Gazette still useful?
Q11 Are the proposed circumstances where neighbour notification would be required and the definitions of neighbouring land appropriate?
Q12 Will the broad proposed definition of 'notifiable' modifications unnecessarily delay the plan process by subjecting too many modified plans to further consultation?
Q13 Do these proposed exceptions provide an appropriate degree of scope for authorities to depart from the recommendations of examination reports?
Q14 Are you satisfied with the proposed regulations for action programmes?
Q15 Given its enhanced status, should the draft regulations (as opposed to advice) say more about the content and procedures for adopting supplementary guidance?
Q16 It is The Scottish Government's view that the list of key agencies should be limited to statutory bodies regulated by Scottish Ministers but not forming a part of government. On this basis, do you agree with the list of key agencies proposed?
Q17 Do the proposed transitional arrangements raise any specific issues for particular plans or areas?
Q18 Are there any potential impacts on the business or voluntary sectors that we should be aware of in finalising these regulations?
Q19 Are there any potential impacts on particular societal groups that we should be aware of in finalising these regulations?
Q20 Do you have any other comments to make on the draft development planning regulations?
