Local Development Plan
The Local Development Plan (LDP) is the new strategic land use document that, when
complete, will replace the South Ayrshire Local Plan and the Ayrshire Joint Structure
Plan as part of the wider modernisation of planning. It will set out strategic spatial
priorities and policies for South Ayrshire and will secure land zoning for specified
uses (e.g. land for housing/industry etc.) to provide increased certainty for development.
The preparation of the LDP will take place over the next 5 years and it is intended
that it will be adopted in 2013.
A number of documents will be produced as part of the process of preparing the LDP.
Each of these processes will appear on this section of the website as below. Relevant
papers and documents can be accessed, as and when published, via the following links:
