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 thatCommittee 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 to deliver the strategy. Version Many actions are from existing proposals contained within the National Renewables Infrastructure Plan (NRIP), Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR) and the Regional Transport Strategies (RTS’s). As the Action Programme is delivered, the region must adapt to a reduction in public resources, aligning what is available against agreed priorities, bringing forward new and innovative means of maximising resources. While the strategic objectives in this Action Programme are defined over a long period of time, the scale and nature of delivering these objectives will be conditioned by the immediate economic circumstances. How we respond to these circumstances will be critical for the success of this Action Programme and consequently the Strategic © Crown copyright and database right 2015. All rights reserved.
