TAYplan is required under Part 2 of the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 to prepare and keep up to date a Strategic Development Plan for its area.
The Strategic Development Plan is a land use planning document which focuses on the big and long term issues that affect the area. Each constituent Council will prepare a Local Development Plan which must reflect the Strategic Development Plan.
To prepare the Strategic Development Plan TAYplan works very closely with staff at the four partner Councils, Scottish Government and key government agencies (see below). TAYplan also engages closely with the public, community groups and business. All have an important contribution to make in preparing and implementing the Strategic Development Plan.
