Intro­duc­tion

Every Loc­al Author­ity must pro­duce a Devel­op­ment Plan Scheme, at least annu­ally, as required by sec­tion 20B of the Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 1997 (as amended by the Plan­ning etc. (Scot­land) Act 2006, the Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 2019), the Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Devel­op­ment Plan­ning) (Scot­land) Reg­u­la­tions 2008.

The Devel­op­ment Plan Scheme is an import­ant com­mu­nic­a­tions tool. It is key to sup­port­ing deliv­er­able and people-focussed plans by let­ting stake­hold­ers know when and how they can get involved in the pre­par­a­tion of the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan and keep them informed of progress.

The Devel­op­ment Plan Scheme for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan:

• Out­lines how plan­ning in the Nation­al Park works.

• High­lights changes to the Devel­op­ment Plan sys­tem that will determ­ine how the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan will be pre­pared and used.

• Provides details on the pro­cesses and times­cales for the pre­par­a­tion of the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

• Includes a Par­ti­cip­a­tion State­ment that sets out how and when engage­ment and pub­lic con­sulta­tion will take place in the pre­par­a­tion of the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

• Con­tains an invit­a­tion for com­munit­ies to pre­pare Loc­al Place Plans.

Plan­ning in the Nation­al Park

In the Cairngorms Nation­al Park, argu­ably more than in any oth­er part of Scot­land, we adopt an almost entirely part­ner­ship approach to plan­ning. The Park Author­ity and the five loc­al author­it­ies that cov­er its area – Aber­deen­shire Coun­cil, Angus Coun­cil, Moray Coun­cil, Perth and Kinross Coun­cil and The High­land Coun­cil – all play a key role in mak­ing the plan­ning sys­tem work effectively.

Fig­ure 1 Stra­tegic dia­gram from the Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan 2022. Con­tains OS data © Crown copy­right and data­base right 2023.

The Park Author­ity sets the plan­ning policy frame­work for the Nation­al Park. This is achieved through the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan and the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. All plan­ning applic­a­tions in the Nation­al Park are determ­ined in line with this policy framework.

How­ever, plan­ning applic­a­tions are sub­mit­ted in the first instance to the rel­ev­ant loc­al author­ity. The Park Author­ity then ​‘calls in’ and determ­ines the most

sig­ni­fic­ant plan­ning applic­a­tions for the Nation­al Park (gen­er­ally around 10% of all applic­a­tions), leav­ing the remainder to be determ­ined by the loc­al authorities¹.

The cur­rent Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan

The cur­rent Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan was adop­ted on 26 March 2021. The plan focuses on the five-year peri­od until 2025, how­ever, it also includes devel­op­ment pro­pos­als for the 10-year peri­od until 2030, as well as provid­ing a gen­er­al indic­a­tion of the likely scale and loc­a­tion of devel­op­ment as far as 20 years into the future.

The plan shares the long-term vis­ion for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park that is set out in the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan:

“An out­stand­ing Nation­al Park, enjoyed and val­ued by every­one, where nature and people thrive together.”

The plan is sup­por­ted by a suite of top­ic based sup­ple­ment­ary and non-stat­utory guid­ance which provide fur­ther inform­a­tion about how the policies with­in the plan should be inter­preted and implemented:

• Hous­ing sup­ple­ment­ary guidance

• Developer Oblig­a­tions sup­ple­ment­ary guidance

• Sup­port­ing Eco­nom­ic Growth non-stat­utory guidance

• Nat­ur­al Her­it­age non-stat­utory guidance

• Land­scape non-stat­utory guidance

• Renew­able Energy non-stat­utory guidance

• Open Space, Sport and Recre­ation non-stat­utory guidance

• Cul­tur­al Her­it­age non-stat­utory guidance

• Resources non-stat­utory guidance

• Design and Place­mak­ing non-stat­utory guidance

Action Pro­gramme

Every two years the Park Author­ity must pre­pare an Action Pro­gramme (a stat­utory require­ment under the Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Devel­op­ment Plan­ning) (Scot­land) Reg­u­la­tions 2008). The Park Author­ity is com­mit­ted to going bey­ond the require­ments of the reg­u­la­tions and pub­lishes an updated Action Pro­gramme annually.

The Action Pro­gramme gives an update of the pro­gress or pos­i­tion of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan and aims to sup­port its deliv­ery. The Action Pro­gramme reflects the most-to-date pos­i­tion on sig­ni­fic­ant devel­op­ments with the deliv­ery of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. The Action Programme:

• Con­tains the actions required to deliv­er the policies and pro­pos­als of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan

• Iden­ti­fies the organ­isa­tion that will be respons­ible for car­ry­ing out a spe­cif­ic action.

• Gives the expec­ted times­cales for com­plet­ing each action.

Click here to read the most recent Action Pro­gramme, pub­lished in August 2022

An update to the Action Pro­gramme will be pub­lished in 2024.

The new plan­ning system

The devel­op­ment plan

The Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 2019 has brought numer­ous reforms to Scotland’s devel­op­ment plan sys­tem, which are in the pro­cess of being imple­men­ted. A sig­ni­fic­ant mile­stone in this was the adop­tion of Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 by Scot­tish Min­is­ters on 13 Feb­ru­ary 2023, fol­low­ing approv­al by the Scot­tish Par­lia­ment in Janu­ary. Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 replaced Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 3 and Scot­tish Plan­ning Policy, incor­por­at­ing an updated Scot­tish Plan­ning Policy, con­tain­ing detailed nation­al policy on a num­ber of topics.

Unlike Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 3 and Scot­tish Plan­ning Policy, Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 is part of the stat­utory devel­op­ment plan (Fig­ure 2). This means that for any place in Scot­land, the stat­utory devel­op­ment plan con­sists of Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4, which cov­ers the whole coun­try, and the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan for the plan­ning author­ity area where the place is.

Stra­tegic dir­ec­tion with­in the Nation­al Park is also provided by the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan 2022. The Part­ner­ship Plan is the over­arch­ing man­age­ment plan for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park which has been approved by

Devel­op­ment Plan Scheme June 2023 7

---

Scot­tish Min­is­ters. It sets out the vis­ion and over-arch­ing strategy for man­aging the Nation­al Park, as well as identi­fy­ing pri­or­it­ies for action and an over­all stra­tegic policy frame­work. Fur­ther­more, the Part­ner­ship Plan acts as the Region­al Spa­tial Strategy for the Nation­al Park, which is inten­ded to address stra­tegic devel­op­ment and issues.

Scot­tish Gov­ern­ment guid­ance states that Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plans for Nation­al Parks should be con­sist­ent with the Part­ner­ship Plan and Region­al Spa­tial Strategy. The Part­ner­ship Plan there­fore provides the stra­tegic con­text for the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan, and the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan will help to deliv­er a num­ber of the Part­ner­ship Plan’s policies and priorities.

At a loc­al level the devel­op­ment plan may be influ­enced by Loc­al Place Plans. These are com­munity-led plans that focus on places with­in loc­al author­it­ies’ areas, which may include par­tic­u­lar neighbourhoods.

All plan­ning author­it­ies have five years from The Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Devel­op­ment Plan­ning) (Scot­land) Reg­u­la­tions 2023 com­ing into force to replace their cur­rent Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan with a new style Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. This means the Park Author­ity must pre­pare and adopt a new Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan by no later than May 2028.

The next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan

Along­side Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4, the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan will be the main doc­u­ment which will influ­ence future built devel­op­ment in the Nation­al Park. It will address a wide range of policy issues, includ­ing hous­ing, retail, eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, trans­port, recre­ation, and built and nat­ur­al her­it­age. The Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan will cov­er a 10-year peri­od from around 2027 to 2037, as well as provide a gen­er­al indic­a­tion of the likely scale and loc­a­tion of devel­op­ment as far as 20 years bey­ond that.

The Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 2019 has intro­duced a num­ber of changes to the key steps of pre­par­ing a Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. Pre­par­a­tion of a new-style Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan will include:

Evid­ence-gath­er­ing and early com­munity and stake­hold­er engage­ment, lead­ing to an Evid­ence Report.

Sub­mis­sion of the Evid­ence Report to Scot­tish Min­is­ters for an inde­pend­ent Gate Check.

Plan pre­par­a­tion, lead­ing to pub­lic­a­tion of the Pro­posed Plan for consultation.

Sub­mis­sion of the Pro­posed Plan to Scot­tish Min­is­ters for an inde­pend­ent Exam­in­a­tion of out­stand­ing issues.

Adop­tion and Con­sti­tu­tion of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan – Con­sti­tu­tion being the term refer­ring to the Plan becom­ing part of the adop­ted Devel­op­ment Plan.

The new style Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan is to be place-based with a great­er emphas­is on maps, site briefs and mas­ter­plans, with min­im­al policy word­ing. The policies and pro­pos­als with­in the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan are to be focused on places and loc­a­tions, while Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 will provide over­arch­ing them­at­ic policies for decision making.

Par­ti­cip­a­tion Statement

Deliv­er­ing a suc­cess­ful Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan relies on suc­cess­ful engage­ment and con­sulta­tion. The Park Author­ity will con­tin­ue to adhere to the Nation­al Stand­ards for Com­munity Engage­ment. The stand­ards are good-prac­tice prin­ciples that aim to improve and sup­port effect­ive com­munity engage­ment, which in turn improves the outcomes.

The Par­ti­cip­a­tion State­ment out­lines how the Park Author­ity are com­mit­ted to involving the pub­lic in the pre­par­a­tion of next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

Engage­ment objectives

Across spe­cif­ic inform­al and form­al con­sulta­tion phases, we will attempt to:

• Identi­fy and feed­back on the key issues we are facing, the big chal­lenges we need to address and areas of con­sensus and conflict.

• Estab­lish what real­ist­ic and plan­ning related actions would make the biggest dif­fer­ence to tack­ling these.

• Reach a more diverse cross-sec­tion of stake­hold­ers, explor­ing a vari­ety of con­sulta­tion meth­ods that help reach audi­ences that are not typ­ic­ally engaged.

• Find the right bal­ance between con­serving and enhan­cing the nat­ur­al and cul­tur­al her­it­age of the Nation­al Park, deliv­er­ing afford­able hous­ing, sup­port­ing a sus­tain­able, thriv­ing eco­nomy and provid­ing out­stand­ing vis­it­or experiences.

• Define the pro­posed plan­ning policy for the Nation­al Park over the time frame of the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

Audi­ences

Sev­en audi­ences have been iden­ti­fied as being crit­ic­al to the suc­cess of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan con­sulta­tion pro­cess. These audi­ence encom­pass those spe­cific­ally set out in Scot­tish Government’s Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan reg­u­la­tions, includ­ing chil­dren and young people, dis­abled people and com­munity councils.

• Res­id­ents

• Com­munity groups

• Young people

• Loc­al businesses

• Landown­ers and managers

• Vis­it­ors to the Park

• Under-rep­res­en­ted groups

Sum­mary of methods

The Park Author­ity will:

• Ensure people and com­munit­ies are aware of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan pro­cess and the oppor­tun­it­ies to com­ment at key stages in its pro­duc­tion. The Park Author­ity will keep every­one up-to-date and informed via a range of plat­forms and organ­isa­tions, includ­ing the Park Authority’s web­site, con­sulta­tion and social media plat­forms, and through key stake­hold­ers and stat­utory consultees.

• Widely encour­age involve­ment using a range of meth­ods. This will include engage­ment events and pub­li­city cam­paigns via a range of plat­forms and organ­isa­tions, includ­ing the Park Authority’s web­site, con­sulta­tion plat­forms and social media plat­forms, the media, news­pa­per adverts and art­icles, and through key stake­hold­ers, stat­utory consultees.

• Pro­duce doc­u­ments that are access­ible, trans­par­ent and writ­ten in jar­gon- free lan­guage that avoids or oth­er­wise explains neces­sary tech­nic­al terms.

• Pub­lish an updated Devel­op­ment Plan Scheme every year, set­ting out how and when people can get involved in the pre­par­a­tion process.

• Con­sider the use of medi­ation as a meth­od of address­ing poten­tially con­ten­tious issues.

A detailed timeline out­lining the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan’s key stages and the types of engage­ment to take place at each stage is provided In Appendix 1.

Invit­a­tion to do Loc­al Place Plans

Loc­al Place Plans have been intro­duced as part of the new plan­ning sys­tem to allow com­munit­ies to pre­pare their own plans that can be taken into con­sid­er­a­tion dur­ing the pre­par­a­tion of the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan. They provide a new oppor­tun­ity for com­munit­ies to feed into the plan­ning sys­tem by set­ting out their ideas, aspir­a­tions as well as pro­pos­als about how land is developed and used in their loc­al area. Loc­al Place Plans can build on the exist­ing Com­munity Action Plans that most com­munit­ies across the Nation­al Park have prepared.

The Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity wants the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan to be shaped by the aims and ambi­tions of com­munit­ies across the Nation­al Park. We are invit­ing com­munity coun­cils and oth­er com­munity bod­ies to cre­ate their own com­munity-led Loc­al Place Plans that we would take into account in pre­par­ing the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

It is up to each com­munity body to decide if they want to pre­pare a Loc­al Place Plan, how­ever, it is import­ant that we make sure there is enough time for it to be sub­mit­ted and checked so it can feed into and inform the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan at the earli­est pos­sible stage. Based on cur­rent times­cales for pre­par­ing the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan, Loc­al Place Plans would need to be sub­mit­ted to the Park Author­ity by the end of May 2024 in order to be taken account of in the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan, but a Loc­al Place Plan that is com­pleted after that date can still be taken account of in future plan­ning decisions or a future Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.

The Park Author­ity will also take account of Com­munity Action Plans in pre­par­ing the next Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan.
