National Planning Framework for
Scotland
The cities are the hubs of wider
regional economies and their
surrounding towns and rural
areas can offer attractive
locations for a wide range of
economic activities.
… business locations which have
the potential to become the
focus for key industries and
clusters.

Laurieston LDS
New housing must learn from the
mistakes of the past and
capitalise on the success of
Crown Street. A mixture of
accommodation ranging from
family housing to first time buyer
flats should be provided and
gentrification of Laurieston is to
be limited by providing a mix of
socially rented and owner
occupied accommodation. To
ensure current residents can
continue to stay in Laurieston
tomorrow, a significant
percentage
of social housing
Extract from

vision
