Replacement Bridgend Local Development Plan 2018 to 2033

The Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP) 2018-2033 was adopted and became operative on 13th March 2024. It supersedes and replaces the previous adopted Bridgend County Borough LDP 2006-2021 (LDP).

The RLDP constitutes the development plan for Bridgend County Borough and will be the basis for decisions on land-use planning in the area. It sets out key policies and land use allocations that will shape the future of Bridgend County Borough and guide development up to 2033.

An integrated approach to monitoring the implementation and significant environmental effects of the Plan will be undertaken on an annual basis through the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) process. The first AMR for the RLDP will be published and submitted to Welsh Government by 31st October 2025.
