Planning Guidance

Planning

24th November, 2021

Listed below is the suite of planning guidance that supports the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2015.

There is planning guidance for all policies except for Policy 6 on the Siting and Design of Digital Communications Equipment. The guidance comes in two forms:

• Supplementary Guidance, which is statutory and carries the same material weight as the Local Development Plan; and
• Non-statutory Guidance, which does not form part of the Local Development Plan, but can be a material consideration in the decision making process. The weight that a planning authority attaches to it will depend on several factors, including the degree of consultation undertaken, how up-to-date the guidance is and the direct relevance to the case being considered.
