Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP) 2018 – 2033
Deposit Plan Consultation 

Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) consulted on its Deposit Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP), together with the supporting Integrated Sustainability Appraisal Report and Habitats Regulations Assessment from 4th November until 16th December 2024 following endorsement of the Deposit Plan for statutory public consultation/engagement at the Council meeting on 24th October 2024.

The Deposit Plan is a key stage in the preparation of the Development Plan for Monmouthshire.  It progresses the evidence gathering, stakeholder engagement and Pre-Deposit work undertaken to date, including the Preferred Strategy consultation, and sets out the strategy, proposals and detailed policies for the future use and development of land in Monmouthshire over the period 2018-2033.   The RLDP will cover the whole County except for the area within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (BBNP).
