When we prepare LDP3 there will be engagement and consultation which is set out within our Development Plan Scheme
The Evidence Report is purely a collection of statistics and other evidence which will be used as the basis for the future preparation of LDP3. We have divided the Evidence Report into Topic Papers – engagement on the first five took place earlier in 2026. The next five topic papers are below. More will follow later this year. At this point all that is required is your views on the accuracy and sufficiency of the evidence for the purpose of future preparation of an LDP.
