4. The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 introduces new powers for planning authorities to designate Masterplan Consent Areas (MCAs). Building on existing provisions for Simplified Planning Zones, MCAs are intended to be a proactive tool for planning authorities to use to promote investment. The Scottish Government will be engaging stakeholders later this year on the implementation of these powers and associated secondary legislation.
