3.4.2.2 Emerging planning policy
3.4.2.3 Local Plan
The adopted structure plan is due to be replaced by the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley
Strategic Development Plan (GCVSDP). The GCVSDP was sent to the Scottish Ministers
for their approval on the 31 st October 2011.
Although not yet the adopted plan for the area, the GCSVSDP will be an important
consideration for future development and planning management in Glasgow and the
Clyde Valley and therefore it will be reviewed as part of the EIA planning policy review
exercise.
The West Dunbartonshire Local Plan was adopted in 2010 and provides an up to date
policy document on issues affecting the local authority area. The key aims of the Local
Plan are to:
• promote sustainable development and communities;
• create economic well-being and a sustainable and competitive place through the
development of strategic locations; and
• maintain and enhance the natural and built environment.
It is also important to note that the Local Plan contains policies specific to the Queen’s
Quay Development site.
The proposed development will be reviewed against relevant policies within the plan
within the detailed policy review in the ES.
3.4.3 Other plans and strategic guidance
Other plans and guidance that will be reviewed as part of the EIA policy assessment of
the proposed Development will include:
• Clyde Waterfront Green Network Strategy (2010); and
• Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) (2009).
