The 天涯社区 Local Development Plan Preferred Strategy
Published: 22/09/2017
The 天涯社区 Local Development Plan (LDP) has reached a milestone stage in
its development following a focus on the initial engagement and participation
stages of plan preparation as set out by Welsh Government LDP Regulations. This
work has been brought together to form the Preferred Strategy for the LDP.
Prior to this, the Council has carried out a number of consultation and
engagement processes relating to the Key Messages of the Plan and the Strategic
Options, complemented by significant community engagement.
The LDP provides the framework 天涯社区 for land use planning in the county
up to the year 2030. It will shape 天涯社区鈥檚 future physically and
environmentally, and influence it economically and socially responding to the
needs of a growing population and regionally important economy, but it must do
this in a way that ensures that the well-being of its communities is maintained
and the impacts of the development and use of land are managed sustainably.
Councillor Chris Bithell, Cabinet Member for Public Protection and Planning,
said;
鈥淭he Preferred Strategy represents the transition between the previous informal
engagement and consultation stages and the more formal consultation stages in
progressing the Plan towards adoption.
鈥淭he Council has invested a considerable amount of time and resources in
engaging with a wide range of stakeholders as the LDP has progressed to provide
the 天涯社区 framework for land use planning as the process of securing
consensus will enable the Preferred Strategy to be presented for consultation
with confidence.
鈥淥nce finished it will provide a comprehensive guide to planning opportunities
in the county and will seek to ensure sustainable development.鈥�
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet will be asked to approve the final draft of
the LDP Preferred Strategy at its meeting on Tuesday, 26 September with a view
to it being published for formal public consultation.
