Local Development Plan

In taking forward the requirements of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006, Stirling Council is embarking on the production of a new Local Development Plan for its area (excluding the area covered by The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority). This will ultimately replace the Structure Plan and Local Plan that exist at present.

The programme and timetable for preparing the new Plan is outlined within the Development Plan Scheme.

The recent Road Shows have been well attended and thanks to everyone who has participated so far. Comments which have come into the Council will help to prepare the Proposed Plan, due to be published for consultation in May 2011.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

Alongside the Main Issues Report, an Interim Environmental Report has been prepared in compliance with the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005, and will also be available for public consultation. The Interim Environmental Report identifies, describes and evaluates the likely significant effect on the environment of the future development strategy and planning policy changes outlined within the Main Issues Report.
