The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what consideration has been given to the Review of the General Permitted Development Order 1992: Final Report in any recent reviews of permitted development rights.

The answer

Answered by Stewart Stevenson on 15 Jan 2010 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government''s current priorities are householder permitted development and domestic microgeneration technologies. The recommendations in the Heriot-Watt report in relation to microgeneration were a consideration when drafting the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Domestic Microgeneration) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2009. Householder permitted development was subject to a separate review carried out by Heriot-Watt University.
We will consider the research findings and recommendations produced by Heriot‘Watt University et al from their review of the General Permitted Development Order in their report along with any other relevant information when we are identifying the priorities for taking forward the review of the wider General Permitted Development Order later in 2010.
