The Town and Country Planning (Development Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 • Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 • Planning Circular 6/2013: Development Planning
Requirements • How the authority proposes to implement the plan • They must set out: • actions required to deliver plan policies and proposals; • the name of the person who is to carry out the action; and • the timescale for carrying out each action • May be expected to include the delivery of key infrastructure and the preparation of supplementary guidance • A key tool in instigating action and co-ordinating the activity of a range of agencies and organisations.
Requirements • Consider scope and style of the Action Programme at an early stage to ensure that deliverability guides the content of the plans themselves. • Consult and consider the views of: • the key agencies • the Scottish Ministers; • anyone named in the Action Programme. • Submitted to Ministers alongside proposed SDPs and LDPs • Adopted and published within three months of the plans, kept under review and republish at least every two years
Requirements - Summary • Action for each policy & proposal – Grouping policies – Focus on priorities – Doesn’t apply to supplementary guidance – Every policy should be used & so require action • Named person – Name of organisation ok – But advantages being as specific as possible • Timescale for action
Key Agencies Review • Reference to the Plan and link the ‘Bigger Picture’ • SMART Principles should be applied • Clarity on roles and responsibilities • Benefits of early engagement and agreement

Key issues • Too much focus on product as opposed to process • Left too late in process to start thinking • Discussion with delivery partners needs timed correctly • Need to use AP to test plan and site effectiveness • Not linked to corporate/budget planning • Out of date before it is published • Just a status report – not driving delivery
Good Practice - summary • PURPOSE (Focus on actions to deliver plan) • SCOPE (Statutory requirements + additional info) • PROCESS (link to corporate processes – LAs and stakeholders) • PRODUCT (Different styles, concise, spatial, clear leads) Focus on the process of action programming (not just publication of a document) DISCUSS!
