The City Council has a duty to prepare, and keep up-to-date, a Local Development Plan (LDP) for Glasgow. As well as setting out the Council's land use strategy for the coming years, the LDP will provide a basis for assessing planning applications. To ensure that the City's coverage remains up-to-date and relevant, the City Council is preparing a new LDP for Glasgow which, on completion (scheduled to be 2014), will replace City Plan 2. The first key phase of public consultation during the production of the new LDP is on a Main Issues Report (MIR)), aimed at encouraging discussion on the key changes that have occurred since City Plan 2 was prepared, and at identifying the main issues that the LDP is likely to address, as well as the Council's ideas as to where development should and should not take place. The MIR is accompanied by a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Interim Environmental Report, and City Plan 2 Monitoring Statement), on which comments are also welcomed.Further information can be found on the Planning web page at www.glasgow.gov.uk/developmentplan
A summary of the comments received during the consultation to the SEA Environmental Report will be made available later in the year. The comments made in relation to the Environmental Report will be used to help develop the final Core Paths Plan.
As recommended in the East End Local Development Strategy (2008) and the Glasgow City Plan (2009), a conservation area appraisal has been prepared in order to consider the possible designation of Bridgeton Cross as a new Conservation Area.
