What is the Local Development Plan?

• An LDP is a Land Use Planning Document.

• When it is adopted it will form the basis of all planning decisions.

• The LDP is one of the 4 key salutatory documents that the Council has to produce.

• It will impact on everyone who lives, works, visits and invests in Swansea.

(unlike previous plans).• The LDP must be extensively consulted on, and

appropriate community consultation is essential.• Four year process – the previous plan took 10

years!• Essential to work with other Council

departments (it is Corporate = EVERYONE) and Key Stakeholders (CCW, DCWW, EAW etc)
