Call for Ideas
Councils across Scotland are now preparing their next generation of Local Development Plans to align with National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4). As part of this process, they are inviting landowners, developers, and communities to submit proposals during the Call for Ideas stage. This is a crucial window of opportunity to influence future land use and zoning decisions. The timeframe is limited — early engagement is key if you want your site or ideas considered in the next development plans.
Time to Act
The Call for Ideas stage is your opportunity to shape the future of development in your area—but it won’t last forever. Once this window closes, it may be years before another chance arises to promote your land for inclusion in the Local Development Plan. Acting now ensures your site is considered from the outset, giving it the best chance of being zoned for housing or other uses. Don’t wait—get expert support and make your submission count.
