Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
As a result of local government reorganisation in Scotland, the functions of preparation and maintenance of structure plans fall on the new unitary authorities.
Section 33 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 (c. 39) inserts section 4A of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 enabling the Secretary of State to designate structure plan areas including areas wider than the area of a single new unitary authority.
This order divides Scotland into 17 structure plan areas for the purposes of those functions.
