Welcome to the Local Development Plan page.
"Have you ever been delighted or dismayed about a development in your area? Or have you said to yourself “I would have never allowed that development there!” Well this is your opportunity to get involved in the planning system in your area, by participating in the preparation of the Local Development Plan.
As Wales has a plan-led system, it means that the Local Development Plan will be very important when making planning decisions. It sets out the Local Planning Authority’s proposals and policies for future development and use of land in its area. Once the plan has been adopted, decisions on planning permissions will be mostly based on the Local Development Plan. The Local Development Plan will therefore provide a measure of certainty about what kind of development will and will not be permitted during the plan period."

This page is the best place to find out everything about the Local Development Plan (or LDP). We have provided some of the best links and information, so you can find out what the LDP is, and then look further into Cardiff's own LDP.
The first and best thing we recommend you to take a look at is the Welsh Assembly Government's: "Planning Your Community" document. It is a public document which provides a simple and informative introduction to the LDP system.
It can be downloaded using this link:
