Update from Kilmacolm Residents Association:

Recently the Court of Session quashed our Inverclyde Council Local Development Plan chapter 7 on Housing.
This now requires the Council to start again and prepare a new plan.
This means that they will invite all developers to ‘propose’ sites that can be used for new houses. This is called the Main Issues Report (MIR)
So be prepared for all the usual suspects to propose Knapps, North Denniston, Milton Woods, West of Quarry Drive and Planetreeyetts once again, as the best places to build 100s of new houses.
This process will take quite a few months to complete - but be prepared for sensational headlines in the media about ‘planning applications’ in Kilmacolm!
These headlines mean nothing until the Inverclyde Council Local Development Plan (LDP) is approved by the Scottish Government.
Recently the Scottish Ministers announced that a consultation is taking place to ‘clarify’ Scottish Planning Policy. This closes on the 9th October.
You can read more here:

https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-planning-policy-housing-technical-consultation-proposed-policy-amendments/

We, like most organisations, fully support the proposed clarifications.

Scottish Planning Policy and housing: proposed policy amendments - consultation - gov.scot

This consultation paper sets out Scottish Ministers’ proposals to clarify specific parts of the Scottish Planning Policy that relate to planning for housing.
