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 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.

(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.

Timing 1st 12 years 60 Appendix 1: Progress on Delivery of SDP Average Annual Housing Supply Targets (2016 - 2021) by Housing Market Area 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 2014. 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 2015 or later.

A B C Housing Market Area (HMA) Housing Supply Target based on aggregated Programmed house completions Column B - Column A*** 2016-2021 average annual housing market area (2016-21)** Committeebuilt rates* North Angus HMA 375 240 -135 West Angus HMA 400 349 -151 East Angus HMA 425 395 -30 South Angus HMA 350 182 -168 Dundee City 2,400 3,449 1,049 Strathmore and Glens HMA 840 744 -96 Strathearn HMA 910 824 -86 Highland Perthshire HMA 560 428 -132 Greater Perth HMA 3,570 3,060 -510 PKC part of GDHMA 25 24 -1 Kinross HMA Version490 536 46 Cupar and West Fife HMA 770 597 -173 St. Andrews and East Fife HMA 1,470 901 -569 North Fife part of GDHMA 200 260 60

Notes: *Column A: Multiplies the average annual housing supply targets in SDP Policy 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 2014 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.

***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 2014 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 SDP average annual build rates. 61 Abbreviations and Acronymns
