Item8SGPlanningSystemsConsultations

This document contains information for the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) Planning Committee regarding three Scottish Government Planning Consultations. The consultations cover changes to planning regulations related to the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, including amending development plans and establishing Masterplan Consent Areas, as well as resourcing for Scotland's planning system. Park Authority officers don't propose a formal response to the first two consultations, but they will highlight the importance of National Park Partnership Plans. For the consultation on resourcing, officers are providing feedback through Heads of Planning Scotland and will update the Planning Committee on any future proposals affecting the planning system or the Park Authority's planning service.
