Local Development Plan 3 (LDP3)

A local development plan (LDP) is a long-term plan that describes where and how development - for example new houses - should and should not take place. LDPs are important documents setting out how the places people live, work in and visit will change in the future.

We are preparing a new Local Development Plan - LDP3 - for the North Ayrshire Council area. Information may be found on our Local Development Plan hub.

In November 2024, the planning committee adopted our latest Development Plan Scheme. This sets out our programme for preparing our next Local Development Plan (LDP3) and when, how and with whom consultation will take place. This is known as a Participation Statement.
