National Planning Framework 4 defines a community as 'A body of people'. This can be based on common factors:
The guidance is intended to be used by planning authorities as a sense check when planning their engagement to support the preparation of local development plans.
It will also be helpful to communities, organisations and individuals in understanding when they can engage in the local development plan process, and what influence on the plan making that engagement may have.
This drafted guidance is part of the ongoing planning reform within Scotland which aims to enhance engagement within the planning system.
Communities are encouraged to read the draft guidance and respond to the consultation which runs until the 13th September 2023.
