They form part of the statutory 'development plan' and will, alongside the National Planning Framework, be the main basis for all decisions on planning applications.
Community-led plans setting out proposals for the development and use of land and a community's aspirations for its future development. Once completed and registered by the planning authority, they are to be taken into account in the preparation of the relevant Local Development Plan.

The National Transport Strategy 2 Sustainable Travel Hierarchy should be used in decision making by promoting walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport and shared transport options in preference to single occupancy private car use for the movement of people. The efficient and sustainable freight transport for the movement of goods, particularly the shift from road to rail should also be promoted.
Town Centre Action Plan
The Town Centre Action Plan 2 published in April 2022 Joint Response to the Review of the Town Centre Action Plan was developed jointly with COSLA to respond to the recommendations of A New Future for Scotland's Town Centres, which was commissioned by Ministers. TCAP2 builds on and reaffirms our commitment to the town centre first principle approach and develops a refreshed vision for our towns and the means to achieve it. It is a call to action and sets out some of the ways in which we can all seek to do our part, locally and nationally, in rebuilding, reenergising and reimagining our towns to meet place and country ambitions.
Town Centre First Principle
The Town Centre First Principle asks that government, local authorities, the wider public sector, businesses and communities put the health of town centres at the heart of decision making. It seeks to deliver the best local outcomes, align policies and target available resources to prioritise town centre sites, encouraging vibrancy, equality and diversity.
