Item7AADesignandPlacemakingNSGReport02

This document contains a recommendation for the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Planning Committee to approve the Draft Design and Placemaking Non-Statutory Guidance for consultation. This guidance is intended to support the Local Development Plan (LDP) of 2021 and will replace the 2015 Sustainable Design Non-statutory Guidance. The new guidance incorporates changes to Policy 3, aligning it with Scottish Planning Policy by requiring developments to meet six qualities of successful places. Following a six-week public consultation, comments will be used to inform the final non-statutory guidance, which will then be reported back to the Planning Committee for adoption and will be a material consideration for future planning applications.
