New stage in Local Development Plan consultation process -
06/02/07
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is embarking on another stage in
the preparation of a new Local Development Plan (LDP), which will
govern how land within its area is used for housing, employment,
retail, transportation and recreation, etc, between 2011 and
2026.
As part of the process, the Council is undertaking a special
appraisal to ensure future LDP policies and proposals are
consistent with the principles of sustainable development.
From Monday, February 12, through to Monday, March 19, the
Council will be consulting on a Draft Scoping Report which,
according to a Council spokesman, "outlines the initial stage of
the sustainability process and establishes the sustainability
context and the baseline situation for the Vale." He added: "The
report also sets out the sustainability objectives, ie, a yardstick
against which the LDP will be assessed throughout the later stages
of its preparation."
The Draft Scoping Report can be viewed at the Council's main
offices and libraries or downloaded from elsewhere on this
website.
Anyone wishing to kept informed of progress on the LDP or
requiring more information on any aspect of the process can contact
