Minutes of the Council 30/06/2009 - Pre-Deposit Consultation on the Local Development Plan (feedback)

On the 18^th January 2007, Ceredigion County Council resolved to start work on a local development plan (LDP) for Ceredigion.

11) Resolution to Stop Work on the UDP and progress with the Local Development Plan (LDP) process

The LDP is a statutory land use plan which will cover development and planning issues which affect the County for the next 15 years or so. The key LDP stages are as follows:

Delivery Agreement
Pre-Deposit Participation
Pre-Deposit Public Consultation
Statutory Deposit of Proposals
Advertisement of Site Allocation Representations
Submission of LDP for Examination
Independent Examination
Publication of The Planning Inspector's Report
Adoption

The website will be kept up to date to indicate the progress of each of these stages. More detail with regard to the timetable for LDP delivery in Ceredigion can be found in the 'Draft Delivery Agreement' below. Further information with regard to the LDP process itself is provided in 'Planning Your Community: A guide to local Development Plans (LDPs)' – see link below.

HOW ARE PLANNING APPLICATIONS TO BE DETERMINED BEFORE THE LDP IS ADOPTED?

Until the LDP is adopted, the existing Dyfed Structure Plan remains the relevant adopted Development Plan for the County. In addition, the Ceredigion UDP (though not adopted) carries significant weight in determining planning applications. The relevant UDP (the Proposed Changes Version 2006) along with guidance on the Council's Affordable Housing policies can be accessed via the download below.
