New Local Development Plan timetable considered by Councillors

4 March, 2025

South Ayrshire Councillors are reviewing the timescales and opportunities for the next Local Development Plan (LDP3).

At a meeting on 6 March, Councillors will be asked to give approval to publish and consult on the Development Plan Scheme 2025.

The Local Development Plan covers all land uses, including housing, transport, business and industry, tourism, coastal development and protection, green belt, renewable energy, office development, waste, and woodland.

Councillor Bob Pollock, Depute Leader of South Ayrshire Council said: “The LDP is very important as it sets out the Council’s vision for developments across South Ayrshire. If the paper is approved, we’ll be looking for feedback from residents on how we’re proposing to consult on the next LDP. We’re also encouraging people to sign up for updates and to engage in LDP3, through the dedicated website.”

Anyone interested in keeping up to date with the latest plans, can join the LDP community to receive updates, attend events and keep informed with the process. Visit https://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/article/27651/Local-development-plan for more information.
