Scotland’s National Marine Plan 2 Planning Position Statement Consultation is now open.
In 2022 work began to create an updated national marine plan for Scotland, to better reflect how the sea is currently being used, and to plan for its continued and sustainable future use. Past, present and future challenges mean we need to make the right choices for our shared marine space.
A Planning Position Statement (PPS) summarising all that work has now been published and provides an early opportunity for comment on the proposed policy ideas to be included in NMP2, ultimately helping to shape the plan from the outset.
