To ask the Scottish Government whether the consequences of climate change were factored into the fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4).
Answer
NPF4 encourages, promotes and facilitates development that adapts to the current and future impacts of climate change so that our places are more resilient. Our response to climate change has shaped the long-term spatial strategy and national developments and Policy 1 gives significant weight to the climate and nature crises in all plans and decisions. Policy 2 in NPF4 sets out that development proposals will be sited and designed to adapt to current and future risks from climate change, and development proposals to retrofit measures to existing developments that reduce emissions or support adaptation to climate change are also supported.
