Local Development Plan 3

Local Development Plan 3 - Evidence Report 

The council has gathered evidence in relation to topics within National Planning Framework 4 and created a series of topic papers which forms the Evidence Report.  

Current Stage - Gate Check

The East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 3 Evidence Report was approved by Council on the 11 September 2024. The Evidence Report provides an overview of the Council area and identifies what to plan for.

This has now been submitted to the Scottish Government Division for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA) for Gate Check.  The Gate Check is an independent assessment of the Evidence Report to determine whether we have sufficient information to progress and prepare a Proposed Plan. Notification will be received when the Gatecheck is complete.
