Planning Bill - Existing Use Value
The Planning (Scotland) Bill is currently being scrutinised and debated within Parliament. I am proposing to table amendments to enable local authorities to acquire land for public-interest development at existing use value. Amendments will be considered at Stage 2 of the Bill in the latter part of June 2018. Because this proposal does not form part of the Bill, I am consulting on it in order to inform the drafting of the amendment and to establish views on the merits or otherwise of the proposition.
