RTPI Scotland

RTPI Scotland has called on the Scottish Government to ensure that the country’s National Transport Strategy supports ‘positive collaboration’ with spatial planning to meet its commitments to be zero-carbon by 2045.

RTPI Scotland has called for an ‘urgent debate’ about how planning departments are funded after it found the Planning (Scotland) Act could cost them up to £59 million over the next 10 years to undertake the duties it contains.

The suggested new national public health body in Scotland requires a more explicit connection with the planning system, RTPI Scotland has urged.

A total of 223 amendments to the Planning (Scotland) Bill have been tabled ahead of stage 3 in the Scottish Parliament next week. Here, The Planner looks at just a few of them.
