About this event

Residents in Powys are being invited to share their views on the County Council's Preferred Strategy for the Powys Replacement Local Development which will cover all of Powys outside the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.
The Replacement Local Development Plan will set out the Council's proposals and land-use policies for the future development of land in its area. It covers the 15-year period from 2022 to 2037 and will be used to guide decisions on planning applications once adopted.

As part of the consultation, members of the public and interested persons are invited to attend one of the following drop-in events where Officers will be on hand to answer queries regarding the consultation.

Comments and views are being invited on the Preferred Strategy which identifies the key issues affecting the plan area and proposes how these can be addressed by a vision, objectives and broad strategic policies. The consultation covers the proposed scale of future housing and employment growth.

In addition, views are also being invited on the candidate sites listed in the Candidate Sites Register which were submitted during the Call for Candidate Sites in 2022.
