LDP3 Topic Paper - Design, Quality and Place 🌇🌉🏙️🏞️
This Topic Paper sets out and analyses evidence pertaining to development design and placemaking in East Ayrshire for the forthcoming Local Development Plan 3 (LDP3).
The scope of the topic paper is to consider the available data about how the design and quality of places in East Ayrshire can be shaped by land use planning, and the implications for the spatial strategy of LDP3. The paper also contains information on East Ayrshire's green and blue infrastructure networks, which play an essential role in placemaking.
The Design, Quality and Place topic paper corresponds with National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) Policies 14, and 20. Policy 14 aims to "encourage, promote and facilitate well designed development that makes successful places by taking a design-led approach and applying the Place Principle". The intent of Policy 20 is to "protect and enhance blue and green infrastructure and their networks".
The views of stakeholders will be reflected in the final Evidence Report which will be submitted to the Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) for Gatecheck in Q3, 2026. The information provided in the Evidence Report will support the Council in the process of producing the (proposed) Local Development Plan.
