The Local Development Plan (LDP) sets out how and where land and property will be used in Dumfries and Galloway. It sets out a vision for how areas will change and describe where development will take place and where it will not. Planning applications are assessed against the development plan. Dumfries and Galloway Council adopted Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) on 3 October 2019.
Dumfries & Galloway Council have started work on preparing a new Local Development Plan (LDP3) for Dumfries and Galloway. The plan will cover a 10 year period and will be place based and delivery focused. The council will be engaging with people on the Evidence Report during May and June 2024. Find out more.
The Development Plan Scheme (DPS) lets you know what is happening with the LDP. It also sets out when, how and why you should get involved in the various stages of preparing LDP3. To view the current DPS and provide comments through the feedback form click on the documents below.
