Local Development Plan
2007 is an important year as the Council works towards Torfaen’s Local Development Plan. It will set out the Council’s proposals and policies for the future development and use of land in the area.
The draft Local Development Plan vision and objectives have been produced and set out what sort of place the Council wants Torfaen to become by 2021. The plan will encourage development which is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
In September the Council will publish a ‘preferred strategy’ for development and the public will be invited to give their comments. The Council has given a revised timetable to the Welsh Assembly Government. Once it is approved it will tell you how and when you can get involved.
