Resources
There are numerous resources available to support communities through the LPP process.
Templates
To help your community understand the various steps required in preparing a LPP, we have produced associated guidance and templates. These resources will be kept up to date as we learn more from those communities preparing LPPs.
Placemaking Support Framework
The Placemaking Support Framework provides communities access to specialists to assist in developing their LPPs. This support can cover the entire LPP process or focus on specific areas where additional guidance is needed. More information on the framework can be found on the Placemaking Support Framework Storymap pages.
Funding support
Funding is available through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund 2025-26 to support development of LPPs. This fund will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
To apply, applicants should complete a Place Plan Funding Application Form and the accompanying Budget Form. These forms can be requested from, and completed documents should be returned to, eoi@scotborders.gov.uk.
Further information
A variety of additional resources are available on the Placemaking Resources Storymap pages and FAQ pages.
