What’s a Local Place Plan?
Local Place Plans (LPPs) are community-led plans setting out proposals for the development and use of land. Broadford & Strath Community Council and Broadford and Strath Community Company are coordinating the LPP for our area, supported by and other community representatives.
The Scottish Government has introduced LPPs as part of its wider work on planning reform. This reform includes steps to improve community engagement and build public trust in planning matters in our local area. LPPs are a way for local communities to think about how to make their place better, to agree priorities, and to work with others, including public bodies, to take action for change.
Once registered by the planning authority, LPPs must be considered in the preparation of the relevant local development plan.
For more detail on LPPs see our recent news item, Local Place Plan for Broadford and Strath.
Thank you
This work has been funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund with match funding from Broadford and Strath Community Company.
