Preparation of the Replacement LDP. The 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (as amended by the 2015 Planning (Wales) Act) requires the Council to prepare a replacement LDP setting out its objectives for the development and use of land in Cardiff over the Replacement Plan period (2021 to 2036) and its policies to implement them. This period allows 12 years to implement the Replacement Plan following proposed adoption in 2024, thereby according with Welsh Government guidance on the duration of the Replacement Plan. The aims of the Replacement Plan are to: • Deliver sustainable development; • Reflect local aspirations for the City, based on a vision agreed by the local community and other stakeholders; • Provide a basis for rational and consistent development management decisions; • Guide growth and change, which positively impacts health and wellbeing while protecting local diversity, character and sensitive environments; and • Show how and where change will occur over the Replacement Plan period.
