North Ayrshire’s third Local Development Plan

Potential Development Sites

We are preparing a new local development plan for North Ayrshire, LDP3. Local development plans set out how places will change into the future, including where development should and should not happen.

One-way LDPs indicate where development should happen is by specifically allocating sites for a defined use or uses, such as housing. An allocation means the principle of development is supported by the LDP, however, detailed planning consent is still required.

Between 24 September and 9 November 2026, we sought the views of local communities on 58 potential development sites put forward by landowners and developers. Some of these sites are allocated in the current LDP2 but have been resubmitted to us as the landowner or developer wishes the site to remain in LDP3. No site will automatically roll forward from LDP2 to LDP3. Sites not listed may emerge later in the process. If they do, we will also consult on them prior to finalising the Proposed Plan.

Following the close of the consultation, we are undertaking a review of the comments received and finalising our site assessments. The consultation and assessments will inform the preparation of spatial strategies for North Ayrshire’s towns, villages, island and rural areas. We will engage further with communities in the process of preparing these strategies. This will occur during 2027. The individual spatial strategies will make up the Proposed Plan. This will be published for consultation later in 2027.

If you have any questions or require further information or assistance in responding to the survey, please contact the Strategic Planning team.
