Regulation 9 Adoption of amendments
The amendments to a local development plan take effect on their adoption by the planning authority and on the amendments being adopted the local development plan is constituted as being the local development plan as amended by the adopted amendments.
The planning authority may not adopt the amendments—
where the Scottish Ministers have appointed a person under section 19(3) of the Act, as applied by regulation 7, to examine the proposed amendments, until the planning authority has received a report in relation to the proposed amendments under section 19(8)(b), as applied by regulation 7,
where no such appointment has been made, before the end of the period that—
begins on the day that the proposed amendments are submitted to the Scottish Ministers under regulation 6(3)(a), and
ends at the end of the day that falls 28 days later.
As soon as practicable after amendments are adopted the planning authority is to publish—
a document setting out the adopted amendments, and
the local development plan as amended by the adopted amendments.
For the purposes of section 24(3) of the Act where a provision of a local development plan is amended under section 20AA of the Act, the date of that provision is the date on which the amendment of the provision takes effect.
