Town and Country Planning (Continuation in force of Local Plans) (Highland) (Scotland) Order 2012 (SSI 2012/90)

The meaning of article 2(1) could be clearer, in the respect that the article provides that the specified provisions of the eight local plans described in paragraphs (a) to (h) shall continue in force in relation to the area to which the Highland-wide development plan relates. The order could have made clearer that the continuation of the provisions of each local plan can mean only that they continue to apply in relation to their respective areas and no further.

Does the committee therefore agree to draw the order to the Parliament’s attention under reporting ground (h), as its meaning could be clearer?

Members indicated agreement.
