The Authority has started the process of drawing up the new Eryri Local Development Plan. The LDP identifies what can be built and where. It tackles the need and locations for housing, employment, community facilities, retail, open space and other land uses.
The new LDP will cover a period between 2026 and 2041. It will determine how we take future planning and development decisions in the National Park.
Review Report
Local Planning Authorities are required to review their LDP to ensure that LDPs and their supporting evidence base are kept up to date to provide a sound and effective basis for making planning decisions.
The first step was to prepare the Review Report which has been informed by stakeholder engagement and took place between 7th April 2023 and May 12th 2023.

The Delivery Agreement
The Delivery Agreement sets out the:
1. Timetable of Key Steps for preparing the new LDP; and

The Delivery Agreement was subject to public consultation between the 16th of May 2025 and 27th June 2025, and was formally adopted by the Authority’s Members on 10th September 2025.
On October 3rd, the Welsh Government formally agreed to the Authority’s Delivery Agreement, thereby officially confirming the timetable for preparing the new LDP and establishing the Community Involvement Plan.

Call for Candidate Sites
A crucial step in drawing up the new Local Development Plan is to identify potential sites for use, such as housing, employment, green infrastructure and open spaces, etc. It is necessary to identify sites for development, as well as to identify sites that need to be protected because of their value as a special landscape, open spaces, or for their conservation value.
The call for candidate sites ran from 17 February 2026 to 11 May 2026. Members of the public, community groups, landowners and developers were invited to submit sites for consideration in the new Local Development Plan. The call for sites is now closed.
