• Inclusive: local people to be more involved in the decisions that shape the development of their communities • Fit for purpose: with a clear sense of priorities, and to address different issues in different ways • Sustainable: development to contribute to economic growth that is sustainable. Planning will deliver sustainable development ensuring development is in the right place, and of the right quality The Government is committed to modernising the planning system to ensure that it plays a full part in delivering the Scottish Government’s purpose of increasing sustainable economic growth. 7.7 Key Strands • Developing a package of secondary legislation which will support implementation of the Act and working with stakeholders to remove complexity and provide scope for local solutions wherever possible. • Laying the second National Planning Framework before Parliament in the winter. This will set out a vision for Scotland’s strategic development to 2030 and establish the need for a number of developments of national importance. Following a 60 day period of Parliamentary scrutiny, the final Framework should be published early in 2009. The reforms also include a simplified system of development plans; a new “hierarchy” for planning, focusing on delivery of major developments; the removal of minor developments from planning controls altogether; and changes to the planning appeals system to introduce more local decision making. Reform will go beyond legislation and guidance to change the culture of planning. This includes encouraging all stakeholders to take and share responsibility for the management of change. This includes delivery of the ‘eplanning’ programme; a £10 million investment in ‘e‐enabling’ the planning system. We will also work to facilitate improved training and access to specialist skills across the country to support authorities in delivery of a modernised planning system. 32
8. The Scottish Planning System ‐ The Historic Environment Planning Policy relating to the Historic Environment in Scotland is centred on the legislation from which policy and guidance are formed. These elements are outlined below 8.1 Listed Building and Conservation Area legislation The principal act, the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act, 1997, as amended by the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006, sets out the legal framework for the conservation and management of Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas in Scotland.
