What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend the regulations under the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 to introduce explicit statutory metrics, numeric tolerances, and comparative examples that legally define a "significantly disproportionate financial burden" within the Business Improvement District (BID) framework, thereby empowering and mandating local authorities to exercise their statutory veto powers if a proposed BID levy structure places an inequitable financial strain on low rateable value properties.
