Community Councils (CCs) are voluntary organisations set up by statute and run by local residents to act on behalf of their area. CCs act as a voice for their local area. They must ascertain and express the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies, and to take action, which appears to be in the interests of its community. They can complement the role of the local authority but are not part of local government. They should have a positive working partnership with the local authority – therefore they must be informed on the council’s policies, and keep the council updated on their activities. CCs are comprised of people who care about their community and want to make it a better place to live. They are people who have the time to give something back.

Community or Local Place Plans were introduced by the Planning
(Scotland) Act 2019 to give communities the opportunity and power
to influence and guide local planning, development and land use.
Community Place Plans (Place Plan) set out the community’s 10-year
vision, aspirations, and proposals for development and use of land in
their area.
Once completed they are registered with their local planning
authority: here this is the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park
Authority (the National Park).
Once agreed, the Place Plan will be considered during the
preparation of the Nationals Park’s Local Development Plan and
Partnership Plan.
This proposal sets out a plan to manage a piece of land within St Fillans and owned by the Drummond Foundation in a way that restores and enhances biodiversity while opening the space for safe and inclusive community use.
