Local Development Plan

All councils are required to produce a Local Development Plan (LDP) to guide the development and use of land over a 15-year period.

The council adopted its current Local Development Plan in 2013. It was reviewed in 2017 and decided that a revised plan was needed. Read the Torfaen LDP Review Report .

The Replacement Local Development Plan process is underway.

The existing LDP will continue to provide the policy framework for the determination of planning applications until it is replaced by the new plan.
