Storm Floris barreled into Scotland in August with 134 mph winds & power cuts—an extreme event not expected in summer. Climate change is shifting the norms and our planning must catch up. Communities need stronger, climate-smart standards and powers in housing & infrastructure.

Parliament may be in recess, but the Planning & Infrastructure Bill isn’t going anywhere.
This legislation risks tearing down local democratic planning in favour of fast-track developments and centralised control - we need more community input, not less.
