East Dunbartonshire Council are seeking input on the development of an updated Local Development Plan.

A consultation has been launched as the new Main Issues Report (MIR) has now been published.

The MIR sets out a series of key priorities and preferred options for future development in East Dunbartonshire.

Launched today, the consultation with run until Tuesday 10 December 2019, with a series of drop-in engagement sessions taking place in the coming weeks.

At the information sessions officers will be available to discuss any issues relating to the MIR or overall Local Development Plan 2 process.


Joint Council Leader, Councillor Vaughan Moody, said: "The Local Development Plan - which is currently in place - sets out the Council's long-term land-use strategy, illustrating where and how new development should take place. It also establishes those parts of East Dunbartonshire which should be protected from development.

"We are currently working on Local Development Plan 2 - which needs to be ready for 2022 - and the MIR is a key step towards that goal. Please take the time to get involved and help guide the future of your area."

Joint Council Leader, Councillor Andrew Polson, said, "East Dunbartonshire is a great place to live, work and visit, and we need your input to ensure we continue to prosper.

"Following extensive early public engagement between December 2018 and February 2019, the Council has looked at all the views submitted and identified a series of 'main issues' of change from the current Local Development Plan for our communities and planning policies. We now want to hear your views on these 'main issues'. Please get involved."
