Climate Change Act – Section 72: thirteenth annual report

Information and conclusions fulfilling our 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. Matters for Future Reports

7.1. Future reports will consider:

  • How the reporting requirements of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 can be met proportionately in relation to the new system of local development planning arising from the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019;
  • How annual reporting should continue to be used as a means of providing guidance to planning authorities and developers; and
  • Whether the changes to building and heat standards outwith the planning system mean that Section 3F is no longer required.
