3 Feb 2023: National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4)
Planning Edinburgh published on 1 February guidance to the NPF4, approved by the Scottish Parliament on 11 January 2023.
NPF4 is ‘a spatial plan for Scotland to 2045’, setting out where development and infrastructure is needed. It rests on the vision of ‘Sustainable Places; Liveable Places; Productive Places’

A report to CEC Planning Committee (18 January 2023) gives the detail on this:
