Rationale for decision
The Fairer Scotland Duty applies to 'decisions of a strategic nature' – these are the key, high-level choices or plans that the Scottish Government makes. The duty normally applies to new strategies, action plans, strategic delivery decisions about setting priorities and/or allocating resources, major new policy proposals, and preparing new legislation.
Having considered the Fairer Scotland Duty Interim Guidance, I confirm that the secondary legislation on local place plans does not constitute a strategic decision and therefore an assessment is not required.
I confirm that the decision to not carry out a Fairer Scotland assessment has been authorised by:
