What is a Local Place Plan?
A Local Place Plan is a community-led plan for the future of an area. It sets out what people value and want to protect, what could work better, and proposals for how land and buildings could be used or developed.
For Nesting and Lunnasting, that means looking at the things that shape everyday life: homes, transport and paths, halls and local services, jobs and businesses, opportunities for children and young people, and the natural environment and places we care about.
Building on what you have already told us
We are building on the Nesting, Girlsta and Wadbister Community Action Plan, previous consultation and an existing draft Local Place Plan. More recent work in Lunnasting, including with children and young people, will also help inform the plan.
The next step is to bring that evidence together, check what still matters and what has changed, and make sure communities across both Nesting and Lunnasting are properly reflected. Your ideas will help identify shared priorities, local differences and the places where improvements are needed.
Helping shape Shetland’s next Local Development Plan
The aim is to turn local priorities into clear proposals that can inform Shetland’s next Local Development Plan and help influence future planning, investment and decisions affecting our area. Registered Local Place Plans must be taken into account by Shetland Islands Council when it prepares the next Local Development Plan. Read more in the council’s Local Place Plan guidance.
