South Ayrshire Councillors are set to review the timescales and opportunities for the next Local Development Plan (LDP3), with a consultation on the Development Plan Scheme 2025 planned.

At a meeting on 6 March, councillors will be asked to approve the publication of the scheme, which will then be subject to public consultation. The Local Development Plan encompasses a wide range of land uses, including housing, transport, business, tourism, coastal development, renewable energy, and more.


Councillor Bob Pollock, Depute Leader of South Ayrshire Council, emphasised the importance of the plan: "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."

The council is encouraging residents to participate in the development of LDP3 by joining the LDP community, which provides updates, event information, and details on the process.

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 www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/article/27651/Local-development-plan for more information.
