In a special single issue edition of WJM’s planning newsletter, iPlanning, Fraser Gillies comments on the contents of the long awaited update to Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) and the third National Planning Framework (NPF3), which was published by the Scottish Government earlier today, 23rd June 2014.

Fraser notes that “The publication NPF3 and SPP will be of wider interest to the development industry in Scotland as a whole. For those involved in the renewables industry, SPP and NPF3 remain supportive of Scotland’s renewables industry with NPF confirming that the Scottish Government remains committed to its ambition to be a world leader in low carbon energy generation, both onshore and offshore, and SPP recognizing that the planning system has a fundamental role to play in securing the move towards a low carbon economy.”
