Wise words from Chris Stewart on national policy ambitions in Scotland versus lack of engagement and delivery locally. @DundeeCouncil one of the few making it work in Scotland, in contrast to real leadership and collaboration in other UK cities. #spfconf22

It was announced on 11 February 2022 that Scottish planning fees will rise from 1 April 2022, for the first time in eight years. SHP have prepared a summary document which outlines the key changes to planning fees - https://t.co/ZdmAZb8mty

These are serious findings not just for the planning profession and the health and wellbeing of local authority planners, but a real constraint on economic recovery post-pandemic (which is well underway).

Such a regrettable comment from an association whose representatives appear to have no respect for a hospitality sector on its knees, yet so critical to economic prospects and livelihoods.

[Cockburn Association (The Edinburgh Civic Trust) @thecockburn]

Cliff Hague, Cockburn Association, said:

“Weighing these risks I think it would be wrong to make a big push for tourists in August. Money earmarked by a cash-strapped council for tourism advertising could be better used in many other ways.”

@williamorbinson With a planning system so aligned to GB (and particularly Scotland) there is no reason why the measures adopted there cannot be implemented within very short timeframes in NI - and whilst far from ideal in Scotland the experience has been mostly positive.

Headlines: increase to 35% affordable housing; min densities of up to 100 dph in certain areas; potential policy resisting the loss of housing to other uses; options for the delivery of brownfield and greenfield sites; resisting loss of offices to other uses. A lot to consider!

[The City of Edinburgh Council @Edinburgh_CC]

We've published a consultation document with 'choices' for major change to help us shape future growth in #Edinburgh. Councillors will consider it next week and if agreed you can have your say from 31 January. @planningedin https://t.co/iyhQ8A8YfT

Consultation delayed again with Ministers’ failure to approve SESplan being blamed. Thankfully CEC not following the multiple proposed plan route they followed with LDP1! @planningedin @edinburghpaper @ScotPropFed #planning
