Our Insights programme involves scoping, research and analysis to help provide a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by planning authorities.
Examples of our work include:
- undertaking a Call for Ideas to support the development of the National Panning Improvement Framework
- publishing an Annual Report setting out progress made, emerging themes around planning authority performance, recommendations for key stakeholders and actions we will take forward
- undertaking a national customer and stakeholder survey on planning services in Scotland
- engaging with planning authorities, industry, agencies, and the hydrogen industry to identify the challenges and opportunities of planning for hydrogen, the scale of the task and steps that can help. We will subsequently publish a Planning for Hydrogen Insights paper.
- publishing a series of blogs highlighting good practice, lesson learned and future issues facing planning for hydrogen
