    Local Place Plans

    New planning legislation gives communities the right to produce their own plans, known as Local Place Plans (LPP). This gives communities the opportunity to feed into the planning system with ideas and proposals for the development and use of land and buildings.

    These community led plans will set out the aspirations of people for the place they live in and suggest solutions, including to big challenges like the global climate emergency and tackling inequalities.

    Once submitted to the council and registered, we must take account of a LPP as we prepare the Local Development Plan.

    Invitation to prepare a Local Place Plan (LPP)

    In accordance with Section 15A of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 as amended by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, community bodies in North Ayrshire are invited to prepare a local place plan. Local Place Plans should be prepared in accordance with schedule 19 of the Act.

    Community bodies that intend to prepare a local place plan are invited to submit a ‘notice of intention to prepare a local place plan’ by completing this form.

    Notice of intention form

    A handbook, with guidance and support available to communities, will be shared with those who have given their notice of intention.

    If you are a Community Council, or community body, interested in preparing a Local Place Plan, or you have any questions please get in touch:
