A public consultation has been launched on the Council’s Preferred Strategy for its new Local Development Plan, which will be used to determine what kinds of development can take place in Caerphilly County Borough between now and 2035.
A series of in-person and online events will be held as part of the six-week public consultation, which runs until Wednesday, November 30th.
The Preferred Strategy sets out the policy framework that will inform the development of detailed policies and allocations that the Council will use when determining future planning applications.
It sets the framework for how land can be used, which parts of the county borough will be maintained as open space or designated for residential, employment, retail, waste, mineral development, community, and tourism purposes.
