The north of Scotland is experiencing an unprecedented level of economic opportunity across a wide range of key sectors.

Development of land and marine assets will be a driver for economic growth and planning will be a key enabler towards unlocking the full potential of the region.

SCDI welcomes Dr Fiona Simpson, Chief planner at the Scottish Government who will join our members in conversation about the role of planning in unlocking economic opportunity. Fiona will answer questions and hear members’ views on how planning can support growth, investment, re-population and economic prosperity for the people and places of the region.
