Local Development Plan Review
Delivery Agreement including the Community Involvement Scheme
This document – the Delivery Agreement – is a key document in the production of the Local Development Plan (LDP). It sets out the timetable for Plan production, the ways in which the Authority will consult on the Plan (its Community Involvement Scheme) and the resources that the Authority will dedicate towards Plan production.
2024 Delivery Agreement
A new iteration of the Delivery Agreement was considered by Pembrokeshire County Council’s Cabinet on 20th May 2024 and subsequently at Full Council on the 18th of July 2024. Welsh Government subsequently approved the further revised Delivery Agreement on the 24th July 2024.
This fourth edition of the Delivery Agreement was required in response to unexpected delays arising from a variety of issues in relation to housing, Habitats Regulation Assessment, river water quality and the need to address accommodation needs for gypsies, travellers and travelling show-people. Loss of staff from the LDP team in the early months of 2024 has also contributed to the delays in moving the Plan forward.

A further revised Delivery Agreement was prepared in 2023, primarily in response to further delays arising as a consequence of the publication of the Natural Resources Wales guidance on phosphate levels in Riverine Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Wales, which affects the Cleddau and Teifi river catchments.
