Call For Candidate Sites – Replacement Merthyr Tydfil Local Development Plan 2016 – 2031.

The Council has begun the process of preparing a ‘replacement Local Development Plan’ (LDP) with an approved Delivery Agreement indicating completion of a new Plan in late 2019. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

One of the first pieces of work that informs the LDP is the Council requesting nominations for sites proposed to be included in the LDP. These will be referred to as ‘Candidate Sites’ and will be considered by the Council before issuing the full draft LDP for consultation (also known as ‘deposit’) in 2018. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

If you would like to submit a site for development, or to be protected in the LDP. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Sites nominations must be submitted by 4.30pm on Friday 2nd December 2016. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

In accepting submissions the Council makes no guarantee that the Candidate Site will be included (“allocated”) in the deposit LDP. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
