LDP2 Action Programme | East Dunbartonshire Council

Introduction

Section 21 of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 (“The Act”) requires planning authorities to prepare an Action Programme setting out how the authority proposes to implement their Local Development Plan (LDP). The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 subsequently amended Section 21 so that Action Programmes are now known as Delivery Programmes. However, as the LDP2 has been prepared under the 2006 Act, it will continue to be referred to as an ‘Action Programme’. This Action Programme therefore accompanies the East Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan 2 in accordance with The Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006. Under Planning Regulations, the finalised Action Programme must be adopted and published by the Council within three months of the adoption of the Local Development Plan 2.

On this page you will find information on:

Section 1 - Development Strategy (Policy 1)
Section 2 - Community Area
Section 3 - Subject Policies (9-24)

Purpose

The Action Programme is intended to help align the delivery of the Local Development Plan 2 with corporate and national investment in infrastructure. It will be used by the Council as a delivery mechanism to deliver the best possible outcome for the area and to co-ordinate development proposals with the infrastructure and services needed to support them.

This Action Programme has the following purpose:

It sets out a detailed plan of actions needed to deliver the key infrastructure, proposed development sites and policies set out in the Plan;
It acts as a project management tool for coordinating the partnership working required to deliver the Plan by a range of organisations;
It provides an understanding the likely costs of delivering the Plan and coordinating funding sources; and
It is a mechanism for monitoring whether commitments are being met.

Specific site requirements and expectations are not repeated within this Action Programme. Instead, it focuses on the key actions that are required to deliver each site and implement each policy included within LDP2.

Understanding the Action Programme

Section 1 – Development Strategy – This section provides details of how the Council expects each individual aspect of the Development Strategy to be delivered.

Section 2 - Community Areas – The LDP 2 groups East Dunbartonshire into seven ‘community areas’ to reflect local geographies and community requirements. The Community Policy for each area provides a detailed development strategy and development priorities. This section of the Action Programme provides an overview of the key projects and infrastructure requirements within each area, together with a summary of how these are expected to be delivered. It also identifies local site specific designations, features and land use proposals or projects. The ‘progress’ column within these tables will be updated at each monitoring stage, where required.

Section 3 - Subject Policies – The Plan contains 16 ‘subject policies’ which will be used to assess planning applications. These are categorised into overall policies applicable to all applications, specific policies which relate to a certain land use or type of proposal, general safeguarding and protection policies which apply when a proposal has a particular site specific consideration or opportunity, and a policy setting out developer contribution requirements. This section of the Action Programme provides an overview of how these should be implemented. The ‘progress’ column within these tables will be updated at each monitoring stage, where required.

Delivery Partners

Collaboration between the private and public sectors is needed to deliver development, planned infrastructure and services throughout our communities. This will be supported by guidance and advice provided by key agencies and other regulatory organisations. Joint working and action between a wide range of partners will therefore be essential in delivering the spatial strategy, policies and proposals within the Plan. This includes landowners, developers, key agencies, community groups and other public sector organisations.

In some cases, developer contributions will be sought to achieve sustainable growth and development, as set out in Policy 24. In addition, the funding of many proposals contained within the Action Programme will be dependent on future Scottish Government spending reviews and the availability of public and private sector finance such as government infrastructure funding.

The Council will also work closely with our neighbouring authorities through the City Region, Clydeplan and other regional partners to ensure that opportunities for economic growth and the creation of sustainable patterns of development and infrastructure needs are planned for collaboratively across boundaries.

Monitoring

The delivery of sites and development can often be complex and in many cases subject to delay or slippage as a result of both internal and external factors. The Action Programme therefore needs to be flexible in response to change, proposing alternative solutions when needed (so long as these are consistent with the Development Plan) and assessing the impact of any change on remaining proposals. Governance arrangements will be put in place to ensure progress is sufficiently monitored and that actions are taken forward by the relevant organisations within a reasonable timescale.

The Council is required to review and republished the Action Programme at least every two years. This will allow the Council to provide updates on the progress of actions and review the format where required. On publication, it will be available on-line and copies will be sent to Scottish Ministers.

If you have and questions about this Action Programme, please contact the Land Planning Policy team by email at development.plan@eastdunbarton.gov.uk or by telephone via 0345 123 4510 (Customer Services).
