The structure plan for an area takes a long term view of development, considering its general scale and broadly where it should be located. Structure plans are either prepared by a single council or neighbouring councils working together. After public consultation has taken place, the council submits the structure plan to the Scottish Executive for approval. Local plans are for smaller areas and they set out more detailed proposals and policies to help guide development. The local plan policies must be in line with those in the approved structure plan. After public consultation, councils will adopt their local plan which will then be used as the basis for decision making in the area. |
Local
plans must be in line with structure plan, both will be used as
a basis for decision making in the area e.g. the building of new
hotels.
