Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Ariane Burgess
It is helpful to get the specifics of the scenarios in Aberdeen. I will bring in Iain McDiarmid, then move on with a couple of closing questions.

Thank you. It was helpful to get some specific examples such as “good, green jobs”. What, indeed, does that actually mean?

It is good to hear you say that it is an exciting time to come into planning. That is absolutely true. It is a critical role and I would encourage many young people to become planners.

We will hear from Pam Ewen next, and it would be great to hear from Iain McDiarmid as well, to get a Shetland perspective.

Thank you, Pam. It is great that you have brought up retrofitting, which seems to get missed in the conversation but is critical to the way forward.
Iain, would you like to comment from a Shetland perspective?

Once again, I am grateful for your specific examples on that point. Lastly, does Sarah Shaw want to come in on that question?

Thank you for that. It is good to hear that perspective.
We will move on to discuss the minimum all-tenure housing land requirement, on which I will bring in Pam Ewen and then Sarah Shaw, initially. How do you think that the minimum all-tenure housing land requirement will work in practice? Is it clear enough? Will it direct new developments to where they are needed? A supplementary question that has come up in evidence sessions is whether we need to rethink how we do housing in Scotland in general.
