The Councils have prepared a Delivery Agreement for the Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen Joint Local Development Plan. The Delivery Agreement is an important part of the Joint LDP preparation process. It indicates how and when the Councils will provide opportunities for consultees and the local community to be involved in the process.
Consultation on the Joint LDP Draft Delivery Agreement(opens in new tab) and an Executive Summary(opens in new tab) closed on Friday 4th September 2026. Thank you to those who made comments.
A paper copy of the Draft Delivery Agreement and the English and Welsh Executive Summaries can also be viewed at the following ‘deposit’ locations:
- Civic Centre, Pontypool
- General Offices, Ebbw Vale
- All local libraries in Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen
The Councils will now consider all comments received on the draft Delivery Agreement in early November 2026 before seeking the Welsh Government’s agreement to it within 4 weeks of being submitted to them. Therefore we expect to publish the final Joint LDP Delivery Agreement in December 2026 all going well.
How to get involved?
We have introduced a new consultation system via OpusConsult.
Once you’ve completed the registration, you will be kept up to date with the JLDP.
