Development plans in Scotland since 1975

Abstract

In recent years, there has been increased evidence to suggest that the Scottish development‐plan system has performed more effectively than that of England and Wales. At a time of impending change to the English system, this paper examines those distinctive aspects of Scottish practice which have contributed to its relative success since local‐government reorganisation in 1975. In reviewing the development of the plan system, composed of National Planning Guidelines, regional reports, structure and local plans, in terms of its achievements, problems and potentials, emphasis is placed on the context provided by the unique organisational arrangements for government in Scotland.
