Main Issues Report

Introduction

The statutory notice of the publication of the Main Issues Report, Environmental Assessment and Monitoring Report can be found here.

The Main Issues Report was reported to the Council's Infrastructure Services Committee on 30 April. This document identifies choices for development in the area, in particular the locations where we feel development should and should not occur.  This is the key document for early engagement on the Local Development Plan.  Aberdeenshire Council has not taken a firm view on the strategy to be followed and we will be open to your responses to our initial ideas.

The Main Issues Report was published for a seven week consultation period from 18 May 2009 to 6 July 2009.
