Current 2026 'Our Area, Our Future' Consultation
What's happening?
A 'Local Place Plan' is being researched and compiled by the Inchture Area Community Council. This will be a document to be registered by Perth and Kinross Council. The Local Place Plan may be used as a wayfinder to guide decision makers by platforming local opinion.
The Inchture Area Community Council meet regularly to discuss what's going on in our area, consider planning applications and work to improve local issues. Our aim is to help gather the community's priorities for the use of land to make our area better, inform future planning policy and development proposals.
'Our Area, Our Voice' Community Consultation...
During February 2026, we had a community consultation open for everyone in the community to share their views. We asked the question - How do you want our area to look in 2038? We delivered 200 flyers, put posters up around the community noticeboards and posted on the village Facebook groups. The consultation was in two parts; a questionnaire (guided questions) and an open map (for place-based comments). The consultation is now closed and all responses are being used to shape the Local Place Plan document. There were over 100 responses to the consultation (online and paper questionnaires) representing many view points of the community.
The Google Forms Questionnaire (*NOW CLOSED*) may take 15-20 minutes. No log-in is required. It covers four general topics (1, Development and Housing; 2, Heritage and Conservation; 3, Parks and Recreation; 4, Transport and Active Travel). You can complete this on a phone, laptop or tablet. Paper copies can be provided on request.
The 'Placecheck' map (*NOW CLOSED*) is open for any place-based comments. Add pins to the map on things you like, dislike or want to improve. These must be things within our local area, and they can cover the same four topics as the questionnaire. Make an account, up and down vote existing pinned comments and add your own pins.
Preparing the Local Place Plan...
We are currently in the process of drafting the Local Place Plan document and confirming our proposals. A draft document was presented at the April 2026 community council meeting in Rait.
What topics will be covered by the Local Place Plan?
There are four general themes that have been identified, but anything regarding future land use in our area can be considered.
1. Development and Housing 🏡 Sites where the community would welcome the development of new housing, or improving community facilities.
2. Heritage and Conservation 🏰 Places or buildings which the community values and wishes to protect.
3. Parks and Recreation 🌱Proposals to tackle climate change, such as renewable energy, flood risk management and tree planting. Sites for community projects such as food growing, community gardens, or recreational space.
4. Transport and Active Travel 🚲 Initiatives to improve and promote active travel.
What is NOT included in a Local Place Plan?
Any notes on maintenance of public spaces, littering complaints or repairs cannot be included. Please report the issue direct to PKC using the portal. To volunteer for litter picking, please see Cllr Angus Forbes, or litter pickers can be borrowed from the SPAR in Inchture.
