The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many agreements under section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 have been signed by planning authorities in each year from 1999 to 2005 and for what purposes such agreements were concluded.
The answer
The following table shows the aggregated data received from planning authorities through their statistical returns and gives the numbers of planning applications and other consents determined where there was associated work on a Section 75 agreement. To put the figures in some context we have also included the number of planning applications and consents determined during the same period. Information on how many agreements have been signed and for what purposes such agreements were concluded is not held centrally.
Completion by planning authorities of the statistical return is voluntary. Therefore there are some incomplete/missing returns.
