LISMORE LOCAL PLACE PLAN – COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
Lismore Community Council is leading the development of a Local Place Plan (LPP) for Lismore, which will be submitted to Argyll and Bute Council for verification and registration.
Under the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, local communities have a right to have their own policy proposals for the use and development of land taken into account by the planning system. This is done through LPPs, which cover a defined geographical area and feed into the statutory Local Development Plan for the area.
LCC is consulting on the first stage of preparing the Lismore Local Place Plan
If you want to share your views, please complete this initial questionnaire:

Deadline for online responses is 8pm on 14th February.
Full-time residents also have the option of completing paper versions of the questionnaire, which are being delivered now. Paper version responses should be left in the box in Lismore Stores by 5pm 21st February.
The responses will be collated and presented at a community drop-in event, to be held on 1st March at Lismore Public Hall, where you can comment on any suggestions or proposals, raise issues and record thoughts and ideas.
Following the event, a draft Local Place Plan will be prepared, which will be made available for further comment and feedback. If necessary, a community meeting will be held to discuss the draft Plan before it is signed-off by the Community Council and submitted to Argyll and Bute Council.
All island groups and individuals are invited to get involved with developing the Local Place Plan.
