City Development Plan

What is it?

Glasgow's City Development Plan was adopted in March 2017, replacing City Plan 2 (2009). The Plan sets out the Council's vision and strategy for land use whilst also providing the basis for assessing planning applications along with its associated Supplementary Guidance.

The Plan is supported by a number of documents including Background Papers, Environmental Report, Habitat Regulations Appraisal, and a Schedule of Land. These can all be found here.

Development Plan Scheme

The Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 requires all local authorities to publish annual Development Plan Schemes which set out local development plan preparation programmes. The purpose of a Development Plan Scheme is to enable stakeholders to gain an awareness of the plan preparation process and explain how and when they can engage. 

The Development Plan Scheme 2022 has been adopted by the Council on 27 September 2022. The Scheme can be accessed by the following link.

Delivery Programme

The Delivery Programme sets out the actions required to support the implementation of the Plan. It details who has responsibility to carry out the actions and the timescale for the action.

Mapping is available (see 'Related links') to illustrate the spatial distribution of actions across the City.

Details of the development plan process can be found below along with the various documents which have been produced throughout the preparation process.
