Please consider answering this survey to support the Trust’s aspirations on planning reform.
It is re Scottish planning and Scottish government planning Bill, although many of the questions are general about community engagement. The questions make sense to anyone who has had some involvement with a planning application or has followed Trust engagement fairly closely.
1. In particular, there is a question about ‘balanced’ right of appeal – this is also called “Equal Right of Appeal” or “Third Party Right of Appeal” which the Trust has been calling for, alongside Planning Democracy who we work with. This would be a real game-changer and it will need numbers to make them mention it when they report back to government.
2. There is also a question about “communities of interest” so that is important to the Trust – to be considered a legitimate participant in planning applications and process generally.
It genuinely takes less than 15 minutes and there is a “don’t know” option on all questions so you can answer some and leave others. You don’t need to make up or guess at an answer
