We have started the process of preparing a new Local Development Plan (LDP3) which will guide growth and change in our communities for years to come. It will indicate where new development should or should not take place, what infrastructure is needed to support growth, and how our environment and greenspace can be improved.
Development Plan Scheme
Our Development Plan Scheme includes more information on how LDP3 will be prepared, including a programme and how we will consult people on the plan.
