The Local Development Plan (LDP) is a really important planning document and the chances are it will affect every person within East Renfrewshire in some way over the next 10+years. LDP3 will establish a new long-term vision and strategy for East Renfrewshire.
The LDP will guide where and how new homes, jobs, infrastructure and investment are provided and how the area could change. The Plan is essential in helping to protect the environment, improving health and well-being and enhancing our places and communities. It also contains policies which will be used to assess planning applications against.
Where new development needs permission, decisions are made in accordance with the development plan. The current development plan for East Renfrewshire is made up of the Adopted Local Development Plan (LDP2) (March 2022), and National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) which was adopted by Scottish Ministers in February 2023.
We are at the start of preparing a new Local Development Plan for the East Renfrewshire Council area. The Project Timeline explains the stages in the process, with more details to be provided within a revised Development Plan Scheme, programmed for summer 2023.
