Regulation 6(2) provides that the amendments to the National Planning Framework take effect on publication of the National Planning Framework as amended. Regulation 6(3) makes provision for how section 24(3) of the Act is to apply to amended provisions of the National Planning Framework.\nRegulation 7 sets out the circumstances in which the Scottish Ministers consider that amendments to the National Planning Framework would result in a significant change to it such that the National Planning Framework should be reviewed and revised.",
