​Stepps and District Community Council is pleased to publish its draft Local Place Plan for consultation. The proposed Plan provides a framework for action which takes into account the survey responses from the local community.

​

Its production has been greatly assisted by the use of the Coalfields Regeneration Trust Place Standard Toolkit, National Planning Framework 4 resources and the Improvement Service Place and Wellbeing Outcomes all of which have contributed to the content of the Plan.

​

​

​​

The proposed Local Place Plan aims to:​

• Set out a Community Vision for our area, how it could be improved and the actions to achieve this.

• Highlight identified Community Action Priorities. These are set out under the five themes of the Improvement Service’s Place and Wellbeing Outcomes which are designed to improve Scotland’s wellbeing and reduce inequality.​

• Influence the public sector on planning policy and the use of land in the next North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2.​

• Give regard to National Planning Framework 4 which has been used as a guide when framing this Plan.

​

​We are legally required to send a ‘Statutory Information Notice’ to each local authority Councillor in Ward 5 and to active Community Councils adjoining the area covered by the proposed Plan. These include Auchinloch, Chryston, Garthamlock, Craigend & Gartloch and Robroyston Community Councils. This is to comply with Section 4  of the Town and Country Planning (Local Place Plans) (Scotland) Regulations 2021. ​​ ​​​​​​
