RTPI Scotland

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.

RTPI Scotland has said decisions on funding for infrastructure in the country should be based on long-term factors beyond the economy.
