Development Planning Contacts: The planning process Scottish Water and the Scottish Government are committed to working together through the production of Local and Strategic Development plans and have produced a guide about considering water and waste water for developments which promotes early engagement between planners, developers and Scottish Water and to promote best practice. The Development Plan Process: A guide to considering Water and Waste Water Services is available on the Scottish Government Website here. The key message of this document is that rarely do issues regarding water or waste water services prove a major obstacle to development and that the impact of any such issues can be minimised through proactive dialogue with Scottish Water during the early planning stages and alignment with our investment plans where appropriate. Development Planning In order to promote and facilitate such early engagement, the Asset Demand Planning Team is available to help individual Planning Authorities and help inform these development plans.
