What is the Local Development Plan?

The LDP provides guidelines as to what can be built and where throughout the County over a 15 year period. Each Council in Wales is required to produce a Local Development Plan (LDP) for its area.

The LDP determines where new development will take place, taking into account amongst others, the need for:

• Employment land
  
  

• Housing
  
  

• Shops
  
  

• Leisure facilities
  
  

• Safeguarding our unique environment

The new Denbighshire LDP will cover the period 2006 – 2021 and once approved will replace the existing Unitary Development Plan (UDP)
