Caerphilly County Borough 2nd Replacement Local Development Plan – Deposit Plan. Have your say!

**Please note these events are structured workshops, there will be short presentations on the deposit plan and process but also the opportunity to view proposals in the consultation and therefore there is the option to drop in to comment informally. The event will conclude with an explanation of the methods available to submit any representations to the Council.

Furthermore, the events are not solely targeted to discuss the area of the venue but will be looking at the County Borough as a whole and you are welcome to attend any of these events.

Whilst the event will discuss all aspects of the Deposit Plan Consultation and we will note the comments of participants, this does not replace the need for individuals or organisations to reply, formerly, to the consultation. Finally, please note Council Officers will not attend these events and the purpose is for Planning Aid Wales, as an independent facilitator to explain the Deposit Plan, encourage your consideration of the proposals and advise how you can participate in the consultation.

Have your say on the future of Caerphilly!
