What is the Proposed Action Programme?

The TAYplan Strategic Development Plan covers Dundee City, Angus, Perth and Kinross and North Fife and excludes the Loch Lomond and Trossachs and the Cairngorms National Parks. Section 21 of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 requires the Strategic Development Planning Authority (SDPA) to prepare an Action Programme to accompany the Strategic Development Plan which sets out the aspirations behind the programme. This Action Programme will help set out the strategic actions and partnership required to shape the Strategic Development Plan and is crucial to the long term achievement of the spatial strategy. To ensure the efficient and timely delivery of the Strategic Development Plan it is important to identify the infrastructure that is required as early as possible to give confidence to the providers and funders of the required infrastructure and services to commence early planning and timely implementation. This Programme has been developed in consultation with TAYplan’s Key Stakeholders, The Scottish Government and other persons specified (Lead Partners). Other delivery bodies are also listed. Funding commitment will be dependent on future Government spending reviews and public and private sector finance for the national and regional infrastructure priorities identified in the Strategic Transport Projects Review and Regional Transport Strategies. There is an ongoing requirement to keep Action Programmes under review and up to date. Authorities are required to re-publish the Action TAYplan Strategic Development Planning Authority Area Programme within 2 years after the last publishing (or re-publishing) of it. For TAYplan, the Action Programme will be a live document and will be updated annually. Through Local Development Plans, and other relevant plans and strategies, more detail will be provided on the actions required Brechin Pitlochry to deliver the strategy.

Dundee Core Area Carnoustie Perth Core Area As the Action Programme is delivered, the region must adapt to a Crieff reduction in public resources, aligning what is available against agreed Leuchars/ Guardbridge priorities, bringing forward new and innovative means of maximising Newburgh Auchterarder St Andrews resources. While the strategic objectives in this Action Programme are Cupar defined over a long period of time, the scale and nature of delivering Kinross/Milnathort Anstruther these objectives will be conditioned by the immediate economic circumstances.

(as above) (as above) (as above) application could be forthcoming even if the full site is not allocated in LDP2. However the charrette, Masterplan Framework, and the MIR of LDP2 (which was consulted on between 23 December 2015 until 16 March 2016) supports a slightly larger Perth West site than that within the existing LDP settlement boundary. This includes additional land to include a DMRB compliant (minimum distance from Broxden roundabout) access from the A9. This would require a change

to the greenbelt boundary, which (as above) has been consulted on through the LDP2 MIR, and which could bring it up to a perhaps stronger physical boundary at the edge of West Lamberkine Wood. The MIR estimates the capacity of this wider Perth West site as 3,200+ homes, 25+ hectares employment land, 2 local employment and community focussed centres, land for medical centre, 2 double stream primaries and possibly land for cemetery provision.

Actions for Local Development Plans to implement mitigation detailed in the TAYplan Environmental Report

(1a) Assessment of development sites through the Local Development Plans should give consideration to the quality of the agricultural land; its current and future potential use; other factors such as soil, drainage, air and water quality in the area; inclusion or consideration of biodiversity action such as hedgerows etc.

(1b) In particular, possible cumulative effects, require further detailed assessment, including: 1. development on the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary in relation to disturbance of birds; 2. coastal development: coastal flooding and predicted sea level rise; 3. RiverTay and Loch Leven catchments; and, 4. erosion of landscape quality through piecemeal development.

(2) LDPs should ensure: Greenfield development is used as an opportunity to enhance ecological networks through wildlife corridors, and habitat creation; and, a list of measures appropriate for green infrastructure.

(3) Set out criteria for a landscape framework, including an assessment of landscape capacity, and ways to maintain and enhance townscapes, urban fringes and rural character.

(4) Ensure compliance with statutory duties of the historic environment. 61 % Delivered Delivered %

These figures represent a snapshot of progress on delivering housing supply targets from ProposedTAYplan (2015) at Housing Market Area level, for the 2016-21 period. This appendix has been updated taking account of published Housing Land Audits with a base date of April 2016. Maintenance of an adequate effective housing land supply to support delivery of the average annual completions is addressed through Local Development Plan processes for each Local Authority. This appendix will be superseded by the published Housing Land Audits with a base-date of April 2017 or later.

A B C Housing Market Area (HMA) Average annual Housing Supply Target 2016- Programmed housing Column B - Column A*** 2021 for housing market areas* completions (2016-21)** North Angus HMA 375 538 163 West Angus HMA 400 549 149 East Angus HMA 425 482 57 South Angus HMA 350 642 292 Dundee City 2,400 3,124 724 Strathmore and Glens HMA 725 466 -259 Strathearn HMA 675 820 145 Highland Perthshire HMA 450 404 -46 Greater Perth HMA 2,775 2,589 -186 PKC part of GDHMA 25 30 5 Kinross HMA 350 471 121 Cupar and West Fife HMA 550 773 223 St. Andrews and East Fife HMA 725 1,075 350 North Fife part of GDHMA 200 130 -70

Notes: *Column A: Multiplies the average annual housing supply targets in Proposed Plan (2015) Policy 4/ Map 4 by 5 to indicate the 5 year housing supply target for the five year period 2016-21.The actual requirement for effective housing land will be established through Local Development Plans (LDPs) and may take account of the potential contributions from future unplanned sources of housing land from the date of LDP adoption.

**Column B: These figures are derived from the 2016 Housing Land Audits which take into account past trends and completions and the impact of the economic climate on the housebuilding industry. A generally cautious approach has been adopted in predicting the future yield from development sites. Housing Land Audits are undertaken annually. Excludes small sites of fewer than 5 houses.

***Column C: Column B minus Column A. This figure represents the difference between the 5 year average annual build rates in Proposed TAYplan (2015) (Column A) over the 2016-21 period and notional delivery of house completions (Column B) derived from 2016 Housing Land Audits. This does not indicate a shortfall in the supply of effective housing land but the notional delivery of house completions against TAYplan Proposed Plan (2015) average annual housing supply targets. 79
