The Scotland river basin district plan includes a number of
chapters that explain the different parts of the river basin
planning process. It also sets the wider context for the Clyde area
management plan, including the area’s classification, objectives
and measures, which you might find useful.

Meetings and minutes
The Clyde Area Advisory Group meets twice a year. The group
provides a mechanism to support the delivery of river basin
planning in the Clyde advisory group area and to co-ordinate river
basin planning with other plans and programmes.
Future meetings
The full Clyde Area Advisory Group meets in June and December
each year.
Details of future meetings, groups that are actively helping to
deliver river basin planning objectives and the task groups set up
for delivery can be found on the advisory group work plan.
