Key Findings
Five workshops were organised across five different locations throughout Scotland to elicit opinions and views which will assist the Scottish Government's efforts to reach beyond the usual stakeholders. A total of 50 people were interviewed.
Every event started with a brief introduction to the planning system followed by 3-4 questions that were targeted at that particular interest group and agreed with the national intermediaries.
The five groups and geographical locations were:
1. Gypsy/Travellers - Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
2. Disabled People - Glasgow & environs (Glasgow)
3. LGBT Group - Fife (Dunfermline)
4. BEM - Central Scotland (Falkirk)
5. Young People - Moray (Elgin)
