We want your views on the second set of Draft Evidence Report Chapters for the next Local Development Plan.
Background: Local Development Plan
The Council is currently preparing a new Local Development Plan for Angus.
The plan will be used as a basis for determining planning applications. It will also guide policies and proposals on development and investment over a ten-year period.
To find out more about:
- the Local Development Plan process
- timescales for its preparation and publication
- how you can be informed, involved, engaged, and consulted with
see the Development Plan and Participation Statement 2024.
Evidence Report and Draft Chapters
As part of preparing the new Plan, the Council must publish an Evidence Report.
The Evidence Report will provide baseline data for the Proposed Plan (the next stage of the Local Development Plan).
This Evidence Report consists of separate chapters based on the policy areas of National Planning Framework 4. The draft chapters have been produced in collaboration with certain data providers, key stakeholders, and Angus Council services.
Each chapter contains information, data, and trends for that policy area, at an Angus-wide level. It then sets out what the Proposed Plan must consider.
The consultation of these chapters is only in relation to the Angus-wide opportunities, issues, patterns, and trends to be addressed within the Proposed Plan. There will be further opportunities to engage with us about where you live, work and visit, on a more local level.
We have already consulted on draft evidence report chapters for:
- Historic Environment
- Tourism
- Brownfield, Vacant and Derelict Land
- Minerals
- Demographics
- Heating and Cooling
What happens next
We will submit the Evidence Report to the Directorate of Planning and Environmental Appeals for ‘Gatecheck’.
This is an assessment of whether the information and analysis in the Evidence Report provides a sufficient evidence base for the Proposed Plan.
It will also:
- assess whether we have taken account of views expressed during the engagement process
- examine disputes
A dispute is where we cannot agree on the comments made.
