To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with (a) COSLA and (b) all other public bodies on the establishment of Regional Land Use Partnerships.
Answer
The Scottish Government is committed to Regional Land Use Partnerships. Following the publication of the Scottish Land Commission recommendations report on 3 November 2020, we are undertaking preparatory work to establish Regional Land Use Partnership pilots. As part of this work, we are reviewing the Scottish Land Commission’s recommendations and pursuing options to enable pilot projects to be operational by the end of 2021, to meet the Programme for Government commitment. This work will comprise engagement with all relevant stakeholders, including COSLA and other relevant public bodies.
