Planning guides the way Fife's natural and built environments develop. It includes:
-
deciding how land is used to help our economy grow and to meet community needs
-
giving a vision of how towns and villages will grow
-
protecting our historic buildings and countryside
-
giving planning permission for new buildings and making sure they are safe.
