Consultation on Planning Obligations and Good Neighbour Agreements Regulations 2010
Consultation Paper on:
- The Town and Country Planning (Planning Obligations) (Scotland) Regulations 2010
- The Town and Country Planning (Good Neighbour Agreements) (Scotland) Regulations 2010
Introduction
The purpose of this consultation is seeking comments and feedback on two sets of proposed regulations that will further implement the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). Specifically, the regulations relate to sections 23 and 24 of the 2006 Act which respectively amend and extend section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and introduce Good Neighbour Agreements.
This consultation does not seek views on policy with regard to the use of planning agreements (or obligations as they will be known) or good neighbour agreements, or the provisions in the primary legislation regarding these measures. Provisions in the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 were set out in the White Paper: Modernising the planning system1 and consulted on prior to Parliamentary approval of the Act. This consultation is concerned with the content and purpose of Regulations required to implement the provisions of sections 23 and 24 of the 2006 Act.
