Local Development Plan 2017 – Delivery Programme

Our current Local Development Plan (LDP) 2017 outlines the Vision and Strategy for sustainable development across The Park, including housing, business, and tourism, for a five-year period. It has been, and continues to be, used to guide planning applications. However, since its adoption, a new National Planning Framework (NPF) has been introduced, and we are in the process of developing our next LDP to align with National Planning Framework 4.

Under the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, planning authorities are required to prepare a Delivery Programme alongside the development of a new LDP. Although as we transition from the current LDP to the preparation of the new plan, the Scottish Government has instructed planning authorities to review, update, and re-publish Action Programmes linked to existing LDPs as Delivery Programmes.

In response to these legislative requirements, this Delivery Programme 2025 replaces the Action Programme updated in 2023. It specifically outlines our approach to implementing policies, delivering allocated housing sites, and advancing key infrastructure projects within the framework of the 2017 LDP.

As we prepare for the next LDP, expected to be adopted in 2027, this will likely be the final Delivery Programme associated with the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs LDP 2017. Once the new LDP and its associated Delivery Programme are adopted, these will replace both the current LDP and this Delivery Programme.
