The St Andrews & East Fife Local Plan will set a developmentstrategy for 2008 - 2022. It provides a framework for the Council toguide development and changes in land-use and seeks to promotedevelopment in accordance with the Plan strategy. Monitoring andreviewing the implementation of the policies and proposals of the LocalPlan is therefore important to ensure that they remain relevant.Monitoring is also critical to assess how well the Local Plan performs inachieving its objectives.111. The Action Programme prepared with this Local Plan lists theactions required to implement the Plan’s proposals. It identifies whatactions are required; who is responsible for undertaking those actions;and the timescales for implementation. The majority of proposals in theLocal Plan will be achieved through private sector investment; somewill also require joint working between the Council, private sector andrelevant agencies.112.

The Action Programmewill be reviewed and updated at least every two years throughout thelifetime of the Local Plan to monitor progress on implementing theproposals and to inform the Local Plan review.113.

TAYplan did not seek to reconsider strategicdevelopment allocations from the approved Fife Structure Plan, sincethat structure plan had been approved relatively recently (2009).Rather it focusses on the spatial strategy and vision for the city regionover the period to 2032, taking account of these existing strategicdevelopment intentions. The function of this local plan in respect ofland use and development management will be maintained.
