January 2016. The preparation of a LDP is a statutory duty placed on all Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) in Wales. The plan is a corporate tool and land-use expression of a LPAs priorities in dealing with national and local issues, and as such, the DA is a commitment by your authority to deliver on these key priorities. Effective project management and the availability of resources is essential to ensure the plan can be prepared in accordance with the timescales set out in Table 1 of the DA with a preparation period of 3.6 years plus a single additional slippage period of 3 months as set out in paragraph 4.2. This timescale broadly aligns with requirements in the Development Plans Manual (Edition 3) recognising that your authority already has an adopted plan in place supported by a number of evidence base documents.
