Clackmannanshire Council has begun preparation of its new Local Development Plan (LDP).
The LDP will set out a long term vision for how land in Clackmannanshire is used, developed and protected over the next 20 years. It will shape decisions on where new homes, businesses, green spaces, community facilities and infrastructure are located across our county.
We want to hear from as many people as possible - including residents, community groups, landowners, developers, agents and businesses - before we prepare the evidence report for the proposed plan.
This consultation is your opportunity to influence what goes into the new LDP at an early stage.
All submissions received will be carefully considered by the Planning team. They will help inform the preparation of the proposed Local Development Plan, which will be subject to its own full public consultation before being submitted for independent examination.
Note that submitting a site or idea does not guarantee it will be included in the new LDP. All submissions will be assessed against relevant planning policies, including National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) before any decisions are taken about what the proposed plan should contain.
If you own, manage or have an interest in land that you believe should be considered for development or a changed use in the new LDP, we want to hear from you. Site submissions might include proposals for:
You should provide as much information as possible about the site, including its location, size, current use, proposed use, ownership if known and any relevant supporting information.
Extra information can be provided by emailing: devplan@clacks.gov.uk.
The table below sets out the key stages in the preparation of the new Local Development Plan. This consultation is the first formal opportunity to contribute.
A summary of all ideas submitted will be published on this page following the close of consultation. Please note that this is an early evidence gathering stage. Inclusion on any published sites map does not indicate that a site will be allocated in the new plan.
If you need this information in a different format, such as large print, audio or a community language, or if you require any other assistance to take part, please contact the Planning Policy team and we will do our best to help.
