Paragraph 4.23 looks promising for cycling, especially the issue of bike sheds in front gardens:
Permitted development rights
4.23____Heads of Planning Scotland are looking
at the scope to extend permitted development
rights and remove the need to apply for planning
permission for more development types. This could
also be supported by making changes to the Use
Classes Order. At this stage, the types of development
where we think there is scope to remove certain
applications from the system are:• Digital telecommunications infrastructure.
• Development which helps to meet our wider
commitment to reducing emissions that cause
climate change. These could be wide-ranging
and include different types of microgeneration
equipment; installations supporting renewable heat
networks; cycle networks, parking and storage; and
facilities to support low carbon and electric vehicles.[my bold]
