Proposed Changes to Pre-Application Consultation Requirements in Planning (Scotland)
This consultation paper relates to the proposed changes to the existing requirements for pre-application consultation (PAC) with local communities on national and major developments. These requirements were introduced in 2009, as part of the implementation of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006.
