The new guidance will have a major influence on future planning decisions in the city.
Major construction firms are reportedly "dubious" about the benefits of new 'green' planning rules from the Scottish Government which will influence building decisions in Glasgow.
Scottish Greens councillor Blair Anderson described the framework as “one of the most important tools to tackle climate crisis” while fellow politician Lana Reid-McConnell said housebuilders “need to get on board.”A council official said large housebuilders are “dubious" about this delivering a quicker, more certain, engaging and leaner planning system.
Speaking at the net zero and climate progress monitoring city policy committee this week, the official said: “NPF4 gives significant weight to the climate and nature crisis throughout all our decision making. There is strong alignment with our strategic plan commitments and ambitions contained in the Glasgow City Council climate plan.”
After questions from Labour councillor Keiran O’Neill, the meeting heard the new guidance will make it more difficult for developers to demolish worthy buildings in the city.
