This Planning Guidance is intended to support the East Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan (LDP). The relationship between the LDP and Planning Guidance is established in Scottish Government Circular 6/2013, and explained in the introduction of the guidance document.
The draft Natural Environment Planning Guidance document was approved by the Development and Regeneration Committee.
It is subject to public consultation from 1 December 2016 to 11 January 2017 - giving members of the public a chance to comment on the content of the guidance. It provides information on the biodiversity, geodiversity, landscape character and specific soils of interest in East Dunbartonshire.
It also sets out procedures on how this will be taken into account when considering development proposals.
Applicants will be encouraged to refer to this guidance at an early opportunity to consider natural environment requirements, constraints and opportunities for new developments.
