Falkirk Council launches Local Development Plan consultation

Falkirk Council launches Local Development Plan consultation

Falkirk Council is seeking public views on the Local Development Plan with its latest consultation.

The survey seeks the views of local residents, community groups and business owners on issues such as town centres revitalisation, new housing, better transport links and bringing derelict land back to life.

The LDP is a long-term strategy that determines how land will be used and developed across the Falkirk Council area. It ensures that growth is sustainable and meets the needs of residents and businesses.

It sets out a vision for the area, an overall strategy, and detailed policies and proposals indicating where development should or should not take place, and provides criteria that the council uses when assessing planning applications.



The ideas received will inform the development of the next phase of our LDP which will be used to inform decisions around:

  • The development of housing, businesses including retail, community facilities
  • Investment in infrastructure to support economic growth
  • Improvements to the environment and greenspaces

The consultation closes on Friday 2 May 2025 and can be accessed here
