People in Scotland are being asked for their views on how to improve the planning system.

Holyrood says it wants to support communities, help people live healthier lives and contribute towards reaching net zero.

It has prepared draft guidance as part of implementing the National Planning Framework 4 to ‘support people to meet the majority of their daily needs within a reasonable distance of their home, preferably through active travel or by using public transport.’

Planning minister Joe FitzPatrick launched the consultation at the Scottish Young Planners Network annual conference in Stirling.

He said: ‘Local living and 20-minute neighbourhood policies will deliver many longstanding ambitions for the planning system by supporting thriving communities and providing multiple benefits for people and the environment.

‘We want to help people to meet their daily needs within a reasonable distance of their homes, while helping them to live healthier lives and contributing towards the achievement of our net zero targets.

‘We can really get to the heart of what matters to people by working with them to shape our towns and communities of the future.’
