This could<br /> also be supported by making changes to the Use<br /> Classes Order. At this stage, the types of development<br /> where we think there is scope to remove certain<br /> applications from the system are:</p> <p>• Digital telecommunications infrastructure.</p> <p>• Development which helps to meet our wider<br /> commitment to reducing emissions that cause<br /> climate change. These could be wide-ranging<br /> and include different types of microgeneration<br /> equipment; installations supporting renewable heat<br /> networks; <strong>cycle networks, parking and storage</strong>; and<br /> facilities to support low carbon and electric vehicles. </em></p> <p>[my bold] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17336#post-240645 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:14:03 +0000 neddie 240645@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Places, people and planning - a consultation on the future of the Scottish planning system was published today.</em> (10th Jan)</p> <p><a href="http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00512753.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00512753.pdf</a> </p>
