Proposals dropped for abolition of the 28-day rule for temporary shooting ranges in Scotland


Recommended Posts

BASC welcomes removal of temporary shooting ranges from new planning legislation.

BASC submitted a response to the PDR 3 consultation urging strongly against the introduction of new planning requirements for temporary shooting ranges. The consultation sought views on the principle of excluding temporary target shooting ranges from the scope of the 28-day rule.

The Scottish Government has said:

‘Feedback indicated that excluding temporary shooting ranges from the 28-day rule on a blanket basis could have the unintended consequence of bringing a variety of routine, small-scale works into the scope of the planning application process.

‘It was not considered proportionate to take forward any measures, especially given that shooting is subject to separate licensing requirements – and taking account of other temporary activities that can take place under the 28-day rule or which do not constitute development for planning purposes’.
