Local Place Plans
Local Place Plans focus on how local land is used and developed and can help you and your local community have a say in planning policy and decisions.
Local Place Plans
Local Place Plan (LLPs) are community-led plans that set out proposals for the development and use of land. They were introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, and they give communities the right to produce their own plans as part of the new Scottish planning system.
When we make Local Development Plan 3, we have to look at any Local Place Plans that have been registered. These plans help us decide what to build and where in our community.
We have produced 2 videos that may be helpful in understanding what LLPs are and the process of putting one together.
Who can create LPPs
LPPs we register must be prepared by a 'community body.' This can either be a:
- community-controlled body, as defined by the Community Empowerment Act 2015 – legislation.gov.uk
- a Community Council
