DEFAULT POWERS
104. The Act gives Scottish Ministers a number of default powers which are not core to the plan process and may rarely be required. These include powers:
- To direct one authority to appoint an employee as SDP manager, and other authorities to appoint assistants (section 4(3))
- To request information from authorities, within 14 days, about the appointment of a SDP manager or assistants (section 4(8))
- To direct a planning authority to prepare and submit a report as to why it has failed to replace its LDP within five years (section 16(7))
- To direct the planning authority to consider modifying a LDP, or for Scottish Ministers to approve the plan themselves (section 20).
