Development Planning ForumIntegration of Community Planning and Development Planning
Background • Parliamentary scrutiny of NPF3 and SPP • Local Government and Regeneration Committee: • How will NPF3 / SPP support community planning? • How do SOAs ensure connections between land use and community planning
Minister for Local Government and Planning:“I fully acknowledge there is a need to strengthen the links between land use planning and community planning. I expect this to improve….to instigate change, I will ensure that the matter is discussed at the Scottish Government’s national development planning forum in March 2014”
Scope for stronger links? • SOAs aim to be ‘plans for place’ • Shared agenda: • Infrastructure improvements, regeneration, population change, greener and safer neighbourhoods, improved health, better services, employment, civic pride and community identity • locality based approaches within community planning • …but requires partnership working / people to make the links • issuing guidance is not the answer • relationships and collaboration • locally specific solutions
Is this already happening? • Do we need to strengthen the links? • Can we demonstrate the benefits of closer alignment? • Are there examples of how this works within local authorities? • Would it be helpful SG to gather and share best practice? • Other opportunities for improvement?
