Consultation has concluded
This survey has been prepared to assist with the formulation of the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan Evidence Report.
This questionnaire focuses on questions associated with the Brownfield and Derelict land Topic Paper.
Brownfield land is a significant resource in sustainability efforts and the reduction of need for development. The Scottish Government promotes the importance of brownfield land through National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4). It aims to encourage and promote the redevelopment of brownfield land over greenfield land through policies 17 (ii) and 29 (iv).
Local Development Plans are required to consider the principal physical and environmental characteristics of an area in relation to its brownfield land.
This topic paper presents an analysis of the evidence surrounding identified brownfield, vacant, and derelict land within Aberdeenshire. It identifies what information has been collected and assessed, as well as data gaps, and the relevance of that information to the Local Development Plan. It draws on conclusions on where efforts to redevelop sites should be carefully considered, recommending action only if there is a clear, cost-effective strategy in place. Despite the appeal of restoring Brownfield land, the lack of detailed information suggests that they should not be a major part of planning strategy. Redevelopment is advised when a feasible pathway is established.
It is likely that this paper will be of particular interest to communities with active economic interest within the area, such as developers and landowners who may wish to consider development.
If there are matters that you do not agree with, then these are termed as "disputes". While most disputes made will be resolvable by modification of the topic paper, some will persist. If you make a dispute to this paper, and we cannot agree a solution then the dispute will be referred to a Reporter in the Scottish Government Directorate of Planning and Environmental Appeals in the Spring of 2024.
Please think carefully about registering a dispute, as you may be asked to provide more information to support your position at the Gatecheck Examination.
It will require you to be a registered user and may ask for some personal details to assist us with understanding the points that you are making. Please see our Privacy Statement for more information.
WHILE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PUBLISH THE INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSION MADE, THEY WILL BECOME PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORD. ALL UNRESOLVED DISPUTES WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNET AS PART OF THE GATECHECK EXAMINATION.
