Issues
• Strategic, distinctive & slimmer
• Based on EVIDENCE
• More responsive
• Not repeat national policy
• Part of the decision making resource
• Clear & regular monitoring - DELIVERY
Scope of LDPs
• Based on how people live their lives
• Collaborative working
• Not automatically mean joint LDPs
• Identify issues - share benefits

LDP Refinement
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
PPW, LDP Wales & Manual

Stakeholder workshops
Broad cross section of stakeholders
LPA ‘Sounding Board’
Taking forward recommendations
Tests of ‘Soundness’
Test 1: Does the plan fit ? • Does it have regard to national policy and WSP
• Is it consistent with regional plans, strategies
and utility programmes?
• Is it compatible with the plans of neighbouring authorities?
• Does it reflect the Single Integrated Plan (SIP) or the
National Park Management Plan (NPMP)?
Test 2: Is the plan appropriate? • Is it locally specific?
• Does it address the key issues?
• Is it supported by the robust, proportionate
and credible evidence?
• Can the rationale behind plan policies be
demonstrated?
• Does it seek to meet assessed needs and
contribute to the achievement of sustainable
development?
• Are the vision and the strategy positive and sufficiently
aspirational?
• Have the ‘real’ alternatives been properly considered?
• Is it logical, reasonable and balanced?
• Is it coherent and consistent?
• Is it clear and focused?
Test 3: Will the plan deliver • Will it be effective?
• Can it be implemented?
• Is there support from the relevant
infrastructure providers both financially and
in terms of meeting relevant timescales?
• Will development be viable?
• Can the sites allocated be delivered?
• Is the plan sufficiently flexible? Are there
appropriate contingency provisions?
• Is it monitored effectively?’
• Follow on from AMR
• Quantifies the magnitude of change
• Individual or discrete policies?
• Implications on other parts of the plan?
• Affect the strategy?
• External factors – projections
• End date of plan
• 5 year land supply
• Explains appropriate review process
• Published for comments
• Part of LDP evidence base
• Could have a bearing at examination

The Future
25 LDAs & 24 LDPs
All deal with local issues, insular
Housing projections 19 times
Every LPA wants a regional employment site
Some sharing of evidence
Often using different assumptions
Competing with neighbours
Small geographical areas v areas of influence
Lack of political maturity
National Development Framework
NDF
Spatial expression of Government policy
Link to statutory definition of sustainable development
Well-being Future Generations Act
Environment Bill
Wales Infrastructure Investment Plan

Used to determine Developments of National Significance
Make a positive difference
Key Elements of NDF
Not perfect !
Evolution linked to delivery
Evidenced based
Not going to cover all scales
Not everywhere explicitly mentioned
Focused around a clear, simple message
Not about constructing new policy
Will draw out potential tensions
Links to devolved/non-devolved matters – CIL
Set the framework for SDPs
Housing Numbers ? No
• Direction of travel - flexible & adapt to change
• Commonality of evidence base – tensions?
• Relationship with existing LDPs & strategies
• Wider geographical area
• LPAs to define the boundary, approved by WG
• Role & function of places – place shaping
• Inter-relationship of places
• Travel to work areas, LHMA, economic analysis
• Supporting each other
• Market forces
• Political support - collaboration
• DELIVERABLE
Strategic Development Plans
Cost Savings
Avoid Duplication
Key Elements of SDPs
Deliver on NDF
Not envisage covering all Wales
Focus on areas of change/difficult choices
Strategic not local
Determine key issues for LDPs – Housing
Remove policies from LDPs
Avoid repetition/duplication of costs/resources
Longer term than LDPs – 2036?

LDPS need to be in conformity
Decided by a single purpose Panel
Two thirds local authority and one third other members
Local authority members only have voting rights
SDP Panel 30 Members – 20 /10 split
Chaired by ‘responsible authority’
