Thornhill local place plan boundary (2025) - open data Edit

Local Place Plans offer communities the opportunity to develop proposals for their local area, expressing their aspirations and ambitions for future change.

Local Place Plans were introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, which contains a new right for communities to produce their own plans as part of the new Scottish planning system. Local Place Plans contain the community’s proposals for the development and use of land, and provide a new opportunity for communities to feed into the planning system with ideas and proposals.

However, Local Place Plans are more than just a plan: they can help communities understand what they wants to be like in the future and help to develop a positive community identity. They can help develop local connections and collaborations and develop community capacity and improve social capital. They can support community aspirations on the big challenges for a future Scotland, such as responding to the global climate emergency and tackling inequalities. They are an opportunity for real, community-based change.

In advance of Local Place Plan legislation, many communities and organisations have already been working in this way. Regulations to support the preparation, submission and registration of Local Place Plans came into force on 22nd January 2023. See Circular 1/2022: Local Place Plans which contains Scottish Government guidance.
