The Moray Development Plan comprises two distinct aspects:

The Moray Structure Plan

The Moray Structure Plan (36 pages, 253 KB) which sets out the strategic framework for the way in which Moray should develop.

The Moray Local Plan

Local Plans convert Structure Plan proposals to a more local level and contain specific policies and land use allocations for towns and villages.

There are two Local Plans covering Moray.

The Moray Local Plan 2000 operates in the southern part, which lies within the Cairngorms National Park Area. The Park Board is in the process of preparing it's own Local Plan, but until it does, the Moray Local Plan 2000 remains in force.

The balance of Moray is covered by the   Moray Local Plan 2008.

Supplementary guidance in support of some Local Plan policies has been produced and can be viewed at Guidance and Strategies.

Development Plan Scheme

The Council's timetable for reviewing and replacing the Structure Plan and Local Plan is contained in the Development Plan Scheme. This document (which was approved by the Planning and Regulatory Services Committee on 6th April 2010) will be reviewed annually, and timings may be liable to change.
