GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND POLICY

2. While the amended section 75 introduces some new elements, the fundamental principles relating to planning obligations, or planning agreements as they were previously known, remain unchanged. Planning authorities and other parties should continue to have reference to the guidance set out in Planning Circular 1/2010: Planning Agreements when considering whether a planning obligation is required and the procedures and practices to be followed in negotiating and concluding an obligation. This Annex focuses on significant areas of new legislation introduced by the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006.
