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
2. A Community Involvement Plan stating how and when stakeholders and communities can contribute during the process of preparing the Plan.
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.

What happens now?
Between November 2025 and April 2027, we will be in the ‘Pre-deposit Participation’ stage. It is at this stage where we want to identify the main issues and the possible options for planning policy to respond.
To facilitate the process, we have prepared an informal Questionnaire for Residents of Eryri National Park where we would like to hear your thoughts on key planning policy issues in your local area. The questionnaire can be accessed below and the closing date is the 12th of December 2025.
Early in 2026 we will undertake a formal ‘Call for Candidate Sites’ to be considered for development. If you wish to receive further information about the call for site process please register your interest below.
