Planning (Scotland) Act 2019

Section 16: Bar to creation of new simplified planning zones

132.The intention is that once the new provisions around masterplan consent areas are in place, existing simplified planning zones will be allowed to run their course but there will be a bar to the creation of new simplified planning zones, as the new MCA tool should be used instead. Therefore section 16 of the Act repeals various references to making or preparing simplified planning zone schemes, while leaving in place (for the duration of their existing term) the ability to alter any such schemes which are already up and running.
