Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will launch a consultation on revising the planning system and, if so, whether this would provide an opportunity to comment on how the system of neighbour notification for planning applications operates.
Answer
The planning system has undergone significant modernisation in recent years and there are no plans at present to undertake a fundamental review.
We continue to engage with stakeholders to ensure that planning remains efficient, effective and inclusive and we promote ongoing improvement in the performance of the system. We are looking at where additional non-legislative improvements are required.
