Cardiff Replacement Local Development Plan remote meeting 27 July 2023

Cardiff Replacement Local Development Plan 2021-2036 – Preferred Strategy.

Have your say on the Future of Cardiff!

Cardiff Council is working on a replacement Local Development Plan for the City. This plan will ensure the city can grow sustainably over the next 13 years to 2036.

This summarises the main issues facing the city and what we think should be done about them. The Council will be issuing their LDP Preferred Strategy for consultation on 27 July 2023. This sets out the long-term vision for the city. It identifies which areas within the city will be protected, how much development is needed and where this is likely to be.

The Preferred Strategy contains:

  • Summaries of issues facing the city and what we would like to do about them.
  • A summary of how we think the city will grow over the next 13 years and the approach to delivering new and affordable homes and jobs.
  • A vision for how we will create a healthy, more liveable, sustainable and low carbon city and respond to the climate and nature emergencies.
  • A set of objectives and targets for what the plan should deliver.
  • A set of 21 ‘Strategic Planning Policies’ that will help deliver the vision and objectives above.

Planning Aid Wales has been commissioned by Cardiff Council to coordinate community engagement events in relation to their Replacement LDP Preferred Strategy, the consultation period is Thursday 27 July 2023 –5 October 2023.
