Have your say on planning future for North Ayrshire
Time is running out if you want to have your say on the next Local Development Plan (LDP) – the framework that guides development and investment in our area.
North Ayrshire Council is looking for community groups, residents and local businesses to share ideas for potential site uses, policies and a range of development opportunities.
To take part all you have to do is fill out the form on our website
Deadline for submission Monday 30 June 2025.
This is the third offering of the Local Development Plan – LDP3 – and last year the council carried out surveys and events to gauge people’s views on the places where they live, work, and visit in North Ayrshire.
To support the preparation of the plan, six ‘Place Profiles’ have been prepared, one for each locality in North Ayrshire. The Place Profiles summarise the main social, cultural, environmental and economic features of the area and summarise community opinions and priorities gathered through previous engagement activities.
Now the council is looking for more specific ideas that could form a part of the LDP 3
Quote: We are keen to hear from as many people as possible on what they think might work for their communities. Local development plans are extremely important and provide local authorities with a framework that ensures development decisions are consistent and for the good of the whole area. We recognise people’s priorities will change and we try and reflect this when we are producing new LDPs. This one will be no different and it’s vitally important that we get as much input from local people as possible.”
