%X In this paper I describe some of the ways in which landscape ecology principles have been incorporated into land use planning and change. In Scotland we have tried developing landscape-scale or regional plans for land use change to resolve issues of habitat fragmentation ¨C the ¡®big plans¡¯ of the title. We have also developed ¡®little plans¡¯ ¨C much smaller proposals based on individual designated sites. My conclusion is that both of these approaches are weak in directing land use change at the scale necessary, and that a system which ¡®scores¡¯ land manager-generated proposals is a more useful new approach.
