Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee [Draft]

Land Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 3 December 2024

Edward Mountain

Ah—perfect.

Some of the consultation and visits that the committee has undertaken have come down to local issues around settlements, housing and what communities want by way of amenities. I was taken by the map that Andy Wightman submitted showing the areas where there is big land ownership and those where there is lesser land ownership.

I think that local place plans are important, as they will drive the community forward, and they give landowners a way to respond to the local community’s needs. I am trying to understand why I have got that wrong. Have I got that wrong?

To clarify, I think that communities are given 70 days in the bill and that there is an argument that that is insufficient. Sorry, Douglas, but I just wanted to put that on the record.

No. Do community consultation, then I will bring other members in.
