Local Place Plans

We keep a public register of all local place plans that have been submitted and accepted. This helps you see what communities across South Lanarkshire want for their areas and how plans are shaping future development.

Once we register a local place plan, we take it into account when preparing the next Local Development Plan. This means community views are considered in future planning decisions.

Current registered plans

We have registered local place plans for:

• Lanark
• Strathaven and Glassford
• Stonehouse

Why the register matters

The register:

• shows what local communities have identified as priorities
• helps inform planning decisions
• makes the process open and transparent
