The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will consider amending planning legislation to ensure that applicants have authorisation from the relevant landowners before lodging planning applications.
The answer
We have no plans to amend planning legislation to require applicants to obtain the authorisation of owners of land before applying for planning permission for said land.
The planning application process is concerned with whether a particular development proposal at a particular location is acceptable in planning terms. It is for any prospective developer to obtain, amongst other things, the necessary property rights “ through lease or purchase for example
- to exercise a planning permission. The latter is not part of the planning application process.
