Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will submit the final draft of the fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) to the Parliament.
Answer
I wrote to the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee on 22 June confirming that I now intend to lay a revised NPF4 in the Scottish Parliament in the autumn. This is in order to ensure there is sufficient time to fully consider the detailed responses submitted during the consultation period and to ensure that the finalised version is robust for the important role that NPF4 will have in the planning system.
