Consultation upon the Powys Local Development Plan

The Local Development Plan (LDP) is entering another consultation period. Starting on19 September 2017 local people and groups will have 6 weeks to send in their views or representations on the Matters Arising Changes that the independent Planning Inspector is proposing to make to the Plan, The LDP is the blueprint for land use in the County until 2026 and includes housing, employment, recreation, tourism, environmental protection, waste, transport and renewable energy.

Every aspect of the LDP has been scrutinised by the Inspector, and it has been subject to a public Examination at which individuals and organisations have challenged parts of its contents. Now that the Inspector has considered these challenges she has identified some further changes that she is proposing to make to the Plan. These are called the Matters Arising Changes.

Any individual or organisation interested in expressing their views on these Matters Arising Changes can visit the LDP website at http://www.powys.gov.uk/en/planning-building-control/local-development-plan/  and follow the links, or they can pick up a Representation form from their nearest Powys library. For more information contact:  ldp@powys.gov.uk or 01597 827243. The consultation closes at 5.00pm on 30 October 2017.
