Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP) Preferred Strategy

The Preferred Strategy along with the Initial Integrated Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment were available for public consultation for an eight week period from 5th December 2022 to 30th January 2023.

The Preferred Strategy is the first statutory consultation stage in the Plan preparation process and provides the strategic direction for the development and use of land in Monmouthshire (excluding the area within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park) over the Plan period 2018 to 2033 and identifies how much growth is needed and where this growth will broadly be located.

The Initial Consultation Report on the Preferred Strategy and Candidate Sites Register has been published as a supporting document to the Deposit RLDP.
