Withdrawal of Gypsy/Traveller Notification Direction: Chief Planner letter - 6 July 2023

Letter issued by the Chief Planner withdrawing the ‘Town and Country Planning (Notification of Applications) (Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Needs) (Scotland) Direction 2019’ with immediate effect.


The Town and Country Planning (Notification of Applications) (Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Needs) (Scotland) Direction 2019

On 1 March 2019, the Scottish Ministers directed planning authorities to notify them when they are in receipt of any applications for Gypsy/Traveller developments. This direction was given to inform a national overview of Gypsy/Traveller development activity in the planning system. This has helped inform National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) and Local Development Plan guidance. It is considered that the above direction has fulfilled its purpose and is no longer required and it has therefore been withdrawn today with immediate effect.
