We are delighted to announce that the output from our commission, undertaken with the University of Dundee, to analyse the evidence submitted to the Scottish Government’s Planning Review, has now been published on the Scottish Government website.

The project, which involved rapid analysis of the 391 written submissions, using a cross-coding system, was undertake in the early weeks of the year, following receipt of all the material at the end of last year.

Following completion of the report, which sought to represent the key issues and proposals from a very wide range of contributors, we presented the findings to the Planning Review Team and had an engaging dialogue around the themes and ideas.

We had a challenging time managing such diverse qualitative data in an extremely tight timeframe, so we would like to acknowledge the efforts of the whole team of Iain MacPherson, Kevin Murray, Dr Husam Al Waer, Dr Adriana Saoto, Frances Wright and Dr Ian Cooper.

Good luck to the Scottish Government Planning Review team in taking the ideas and aspirations forward.
