NPF4 Position Statement Consultation

The consultation on the NPF4 Position Statement attracted over 250 responses, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed. You can now view all responses and we will also publish a consultation analysis report in due course. As part of our engagement programme, we invited RTPI (Scotland) to host 4 roundtable sessions on key themes.  The outputs along with other NPF resources are available on TransformingPlanning.scot.

Inclusive Design Research

A research report into Inclusive Design in Town Centres and Busy Street Areas has been published on the Transport Scotland website. The research will now be used by a Working Group to co-produce guidance on Inclusive Design, which is due to publish later in the year. This guidance will include Inclusive Engagement and Inclusive Physical Design Measures.
