Changes to Scotland’s planning system, said to be the “most important” in 75 years, will be debated at Holyrood.
MSPs are being asked to approve the Fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) – which ministers say can “help build a fairer, greener Scotland”.
The new framework seeks to prioritise projects that will help tackle the climate crisis or which regenerate local communities. If approved it will, together with local development plans, help to determine decisions on planning applications for the next decade.
