Glasgow City Development Plan 2
A local development plan is required for each council area across Scotland. It allocates sites for new development, identifies sites to be protected and includes policies that guide decisions on planning applications.
Overview
A local development plan is required for each council area across Scotland. It allocates sites for new development, identifies sites to be protected and includes policies that guide decisions on planning applications.
Work has begun on the new local development plan for Glasgow (Glasgow City Development Plan 2 (CDP2)), based on the Development Planning Regulations, NPF4 policy priorities and the indicative Regional Spatial Strategy.
The current adopted local development plan, City Development Plan, places particular emphasis on placemaking. With the recent adoption of National Planning Framework 4, there will be an emphasis on tackling the climate and nature crises.
City Development Plan 2 Hubprovides a dedicated space for news and updates, information on engagement activities and documents related to producing City Development Plan 2.
Development Plan Scheme
The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 requires all local authorities to publish annual Development Plan Schemes that set out the work programme for creating a Local Development Plan. The purpose of a Development Plan Scheme is to enable stakeholders to gain an awareness of the plan preparation process and explains how and when they can get involved.
The latest Development Plan Scheme for 2024 is available to view here. It sets out the new planning context and how we will go about producing City Development Plan 2.

Evidence Gathering
Evidence Report - February 2025
The purpose of an Evidence Report is to establish a baseline of information required to assist the Planning Authority in producing a Local Development Plan. The Evidence Report supports the Council by clearly informing what to plan for before the Proposed Plan.
Producing the Evidence Report has been a broad exercise. The Evidence Report was originally submitted to the Department for Environment and Planning Appeals (DPEA) in June 2024 for Gate Check, an independent assessment of the Evidence Report. The Gate Check decision was issued in September 2024. The Reporter's assessment was that although the Evidence Report contained a wealth of information, some evidence was missing or not clearly explained. As a result, the Evidence Report was returned back to the Council to have amendments made. The original report can be read here. Further detail relating to the Council's engagement with the Key Agencies, the indicative Local Housing Land Requirement and information on Infrastructure was requested.
The Council has since undertaken a revision to the Evidence Report which has been resubmitted to the DPEA for a subsequent Gate Check assessment.
