Have Your Say - Stirling Local Development Plan

We are currently preparing an Evidence Report, which is the first stage in the preparation of LDP3. A key part of the Evidence Report process is to gather information from early consultation and engagement, and use the information gathered to establish what to plan for before the Proposed Local Development Plan identifies the specific locations where new development should take place.

The draft approach for the Evidence Report is included within our Evidence Report Position Statement and takes into account the main priorities identified in the 2023 consultation. Feedback from the 2023 consultation can be found in the Consultation Feedback Report and Housing Analysis Report.

This week, we have launched a series of surveys through the Engage Stirling website:

· ‘Have a Say on the Scope of the Evidence Report’
– following on from our 2023 consultation survey, we are asking for your views on what should be included in the Evidence Report. This survey is titled ‘Evidence Report - Scope and Content’.

· Three surveys looking for further feedback and information to build up an evidence base for important policy areas concerning:

o Housing

o Local Living

o Heritage

· Play, Sport and Recreation Survey
– for children and young people aged 0-17, as well as individuals, community groups and organisations that represent the views and experiences of children/young people. This survey will help gather data for a Play Sufficiency Assessment.

· Lastly, a survey seeking views on a draft Site Assessment methodology
- this will inform the process of assessing sites for potential inclusion in LDP3 and will be carried out during the later "Proposed Plan" stage.

For each of these topics we have prepared individual surveys, each with detailed introductions explaining what they are about and their intended purpose.

The surveys will close on Friday 7 June 2024.

Elaine Hopley, 45, from Dunblane in Scotland, arrived in Antigua on Sunday having spent nearly two months at sea competing in the 2,000 mile Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Her time of 59 days, 19 hours and 14 minutes makes her the fastest woman to cross the Atlantic solo in the 30-year history of the race, dubbed the world’s toughest row.
