2 Introduction The Delivery Programme 2019-2029 - 7 February 2024 update has been prepared to support the delivery of the Perth & Kinross Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2). It sets out the actions and partnerships required to implement the Plan and will serve as a tool to achieve this purpose. To ensure the efficient and effective delivery of LDP2 it is important that any actions or infrastructure development required are identified as soon as possible to provide confidence to key stakeholders, developers and funders. The Delivery Programme has been prepared with input from other departments within Perth & Kinross Council, key stakeholders, the Scottish Government and other organisations and delivery bodies specified in the document. Perth & Kinross Council aspires to build on this version of the Delivery Programme with regular reviews and communication with stakeholders. Funding of a number of the schemes contained with the Delivery Programme will be dependent on future Scottish Government spending reviews and the availability of public and private sector finance. Background The Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006, as amended by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, requires a local planning authority to publish a Delivery Programme to accompany the Local Development Plan. LDP2 was formally adopted by the Council on 29 November 2019. The first Delivery Programme 2019-29 in support of the Plan was adopted by the Council in January 2020 and thereafter was published and submitted to Scottish Ministers. The Programme was updated on 2 Feburary 2022.

3 Approach The delivery of proposals and policies is a complex process that requires a pragmatic approach to delivery. In considering the delivery of sites, the expectations of all parties should remain realistic, and the requirements remain as flexible as possible to ensure the delivery is viable. While all the strategic, national and regional development actions from National Planning Framework 4, the Strategic Transport Projects Review 2 (STPR), and the Tactran Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) Refresh 2015-2036 and RTS Delivery Plan 2016-2021 (and the RTS2 currently under preparation) are important, only some will have a direct impact on the delivery of LDP2. Delivery and Monitoring Strong leadership and stakeholder commitment are key to the successful delivery of the Delivery Programme. The Local Development Planning Guidance requires Planning Authorities to consult with and consider the views of the key agencies and the Scottish Ministers. The Guidance also highlights the important and complementary roles of the Delivery Programme and the annual Housing Land Audit in the delivery of LDPs. This version of the Delivery Programme takes into account any progress which has been made on individual site proposals and policies since the Delivery Programme update in February 2022. Future Delivery Programmes There is a requirement under LDP2 Policy 23: Delivery of Development Sites, for a Delivery Strategy to be prepared and updated every 6 months for sites allocated for development in the Plan. The Delivery Strategy is to demonstrate a realistic programme for the delivery of the site through the plan period and beyond. Several rounds of engagement on Delivery Strategies have been undertaken since the first round in March 2021 and the outcomes of these have informed this version of the Delivery Programme. The preparation of a full strategy for every allocated site is a work in progress and these will continue to be incorporated into future versions of the Delivery Programme.

Worked commenced in 2020 post the adoption of the Rail Services Decarbonisation Action Plan. Transport Scotland; Scottish Government; Network Rail STPR2 recommends the priorities for decarbonising key rail routes should align with the Rail Services Decarbonisation Action Plan. The Rail Services Decarbonisation Action Plan was published in Spring 2020 and includes an indicative action programme.
