Local Development Plan 2013 Review Report
A statutory review of the previous Bridgend Local Development Plan (LDP) was undertaken in 2017. The first stage was publishing the Draft Review Report. This was subject to a four week stakeholder consultation period from Monday 30 April 2018 until 5pm Friday 25 May 2018. A summary of the key issues raised from the consultation responses can be viewed at Appendix 7 of the final Review Report.
The responses received from the consultation were considered and incorporated into the final Review Report as appropriate. Based on the evidence contained in the Review Report, it was concluded that the previous LDP should be revised and that this should take the form of a full revision procedure. In other words, a new Replacement LDP needed to be prepared on an individual basis.
The report provides an overview of the issues that were considered as part of the previous LDP review process and identifies the potential changes that were likely to be needed to the plan. It also sets out the potential options that were considered for revising the previous LDP.
