News on North Ayrshire’s third Local Development Plan

This plan will be people-centred: putting people and communities at the heart of the plan, meeting people’s needs and aspirations, tackling inequalities and prepared collaboratively. To achieve this, it is important we understand the best way to engage with all individuals, groups and organisations with an interest in North Ayrshire and provide opportunities for a diverse range of people to express their views in different ways.

To inform our Participation Statement, we have prepared a short survey to help inform our approach to engagement. A ‘Participation Statement’ will be published later this year as part of the Development Plan Scheme. The Development Plan Scheme and Participation Statement is updated annually and lets everyone know when and how they can get involved in the plan and keep them informed of progress. You can view the current Development Plan Scheme on our website.

If you have not already, you are also encouraged to tell us about the area in which you live, work or visit in North Ayrshire by completing the Your Place Survey or Young People’s Your Place Survey (ages 13 to 17) – and to share the surveys with your friends, family and networks so we hear the views of as many people as possible.
