Local Plan
We are preparing a new Local Plan for the whole of the National Park that will set out detailed policies and site-specific proposals for development. It will be used to guide day-to-day planning decisions and will have a life span of five years when adopted.
These web pages provide information on progress towards preparing the Local Plan and will be updated regularly. Please select from the headings on the side menu to view relevant documents.
The Finalised Draft Local Plan was
approved for consultation by the National Park Board on 14 December 2009. Click here to view the report which summarises the more significant issues raised and the
proposed changes by section of the Finalised Draft Local Plan.
The final stage of
consultation provides the opportunity to submit objection to the Plan if there
are outstanding concerns. Any unresolved objections, after consideration by the
National Park Authority, will be examined by a Scottish Government reporter who will make
final recommendations on the Plan.

The consultation period runs from Friday 19 February to Tuesday 6 April 2010.
