Grade B1 (Assessment 1 – B2 | Exam 1 – A4 | Exam 2 – B2)
Rationale
“All those involved with the management, development and use of the countryside require an understanding of how the planning system works and what it is intended to achieve. This module will concentrate on the modernised Scottish planning system, why it is necessary and appraising its role in determining the way in which rural areas are developed with a focus on promoting the sustainable management of the countryside.
The use of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) are key processes which are fully integrated into the current planning system. By looking critically at the process, students will gain an insight into how planning decisions are made and how they can contribute to the sustainable management of the countryside. In addition to looking at case studies, site visits will link the strategic policy framework with the individual planning requirements of a range of topical planning application proposals and developments.”
