The infrastructure for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games is one of nine major projects included in the Scottish Government’s national planning framework, which was published for consultation today.
The draft framework, which sets out the government’s vision for Scotland’s development to 2030, also includes a replacement Forth crossing, improvements to Edinburgh and Glasgow airports and grid reinforcements to support renewable energy development.
Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth John Swinney said all nine would have a vital role to play in creating a more successful Scotland.
"Enhancing our national infrastructure with national developments will create a more successful country, increase sustainable economic growth and create opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish,” he said.
Also proposed as national developments are the Rosyth International Container Terminal, the Scapa Flow Container Transhipment Facility, the Glasgow Strategic Drainage Scheme and enhanced access to the Grangemouth Freight Hub.
The draft will be open for consultation until 15 April before being considered by Parliament. The finalised national planning framework is expected this winter.
