    East Dunbartonshire Council is about to begin work on its next Local Development Plan (LDP3).

    Simply put, an LDP sets out a long-term vision for where development should and shouldn't happen. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpage for more information or watch the video.

    Development Plan Scheme and the Draft Participation Statement

    The Council is asking communities and stakeholders how they would like to be consulted in the process of preparing LDP3. The Council's Draft Participation Statement sets out proposed ways for stakeholders to be engaged at various stages. The Draft Participation Statement is part of the overall Development Plan Scheme – which sets out a work programme for delivery of LDP3.
