Last chance to comment on Local Plan

The second draft of the Local Plan for Orkney has been published by Orkney Islands Council for final public comment.

The “Modified Proposed Plan” has been produced in response to consultation comments received in relation to the initial Proposed Plan published last year.

Anyone interested in the direction of planning in Orkney in years to come is being urged to take a final look at the document before it is forwarded to the Scottish Government for scrutiny. A copy of the plan can be viewed at Kirkwall and Stromness Libraries, and in mobile library vans, as well as from the council’s Stromness and Kirkwall customer services offices. It can also be downloaded from www.orkney.gov.uk.

Anyone with questions about the revised plan can ask to see a development and marine planner at the council offices between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

The closing date for comments is June 18.
