Question
To ask Scottish Government what plans it has to meet communities that might be affected by the national developments that will be incorporated in the National Planning Framework 4.
Answer
Our programme for engagement is clear that we will consider how best to support communities which may be impacted by a national development proposal. We will follow this up by setting out our approach to engagement in a Participation Statement for National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) to be published alongside the draft NPF4 when it is laid in Parliament this autumn. The Parliamentary process, and the extensive public consultation we will carry out at the same time, will provide a significant opportunity for people and organisations to comment on the draft spatial strategy, policies and proposed national developments later this year.
