Climate Change Act – Section 72: fourteenth annual report
Information and conclusions fulfilling annual reporting requirements on the operation of Section 3F of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (introduced by Section 72 of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009).
7. Next Steps
7.1 The conclusion that the requirement contained in section 3F is no longer necessary enables Scottish Ministers to prepare an Order to repeal Section 3F, as provided for by Section 73(2) of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009.
7.2 Given the conclusions of this report, work will be commenced to prepare the repeal Order.
7.3 In addition, it is not anticipated that further annual reports will be required in advance of a repeal Order being prepared. Reference back to this report for the basis of preparation of the Order should be sufficient.
7.4 For the period between 1 April 2024 and future repeal of the legislation, Section 3F remains in force and applicable to the preparation of LDPs.
