Mid and East Antrim Local Development Plan 2030 – ‘Call for Sites’ public consultation
Wednesday 17 July 2024
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council recently commenced work on the Local Development Plan (LDP) 2030 – draft Local Policies Plan (LPP).
The Local Policies Plan is the second part of the Local Development Plan, following on from the adoption of the Plan Strategy in October 2023. The LPP will feature local policies, including site specific proposals, designations and land use zonings.
As part of the LPP process, Council has launched a ‘Call for Sites’ public consultation to give landowners, developers and other interested parties an early opportunity to suggest sustainable and available sites within the Mid and East Antrim area they would like considered for development as part of the LPP preparation.
The 'Call for Sites’ will help identify a potential pool of sites for further consideration when preparing the Local Policies Plan. For more details on where sites are likely to be required, plus FAQ’s, please visit our LDP Call for Sites section.
The online survey form is the most straight-forward method of submitting suggested sites and is available at on our Survey123 ArcGIS platform.
Alternatively, you can suggest a site using the downloadable consultation response form, also available on the ‘Call for Sites’ web page.
The consultation is currently open and will close at 5pm on Monday 30 September 2024.
The LDP Team will also be running a series of drop-in sessions for anyone who would like to speak to the team in person about the consultation. These drop-in sessions will take place from 6pm - 8pm on:
- Tuesday 13 August 2024 - The Braid, Ballymena
- Thursday 22 August 2024 - Town Hall, Larne
- Thursday 5 September 2024 - Town Hall, Carrickfergus
Council will publish the information received through this consultation as part of the evidence base for the draft LPP. By submitting your response, you are accepting that Mid and East Antrim Borough Council will publish it and the information within it. Published responses will not contain any personal details.
