Shetland Local Development Plan

The preparation of the new Shetland Local Development Plan will assist with the delivery of sustainable economic growth and the preservation of the natural and built environment of Shetland including its rich cultural and landscape heritage and ways of life, whilst making sure we can continue to provide 21st century communications and infrastructure to communities that are growing and changing.

Call for Proposed Development Sites

All of the sites have now been assessed and a report has been put to the Development Committee on the 9th March 2012, please see agenda here. Minutes to follow.
