"The Authority is constantly making decisions on development and in order that these decisions are made with confidence, an up-to-date planning policy framework is essential. The previous system of Local Plans and Structure Plans has gradually been replaced in Wales and most local authorities now either have a Unitary Development Plan (UDP) or a Local Development Plan (LDP) in place.
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council adopted the Merthyr Tydfil Local Development Plan in May 2011, at which tiime, all previous plans became superseded.
For information, the previous plans were:-
- the Mid Glamorgan (Merthyr Tydfil County Borough) Replacement Structure Plan 1991-2006 (adopted August 1996)
- the Merthyr Tydfil Borough Local Plan 1994-2006 (adopted May 1999)
- the Mid Glamorgan (Merthyr Tydfil County Borough) Minerals Local Plan for Limestone Quarrying (adopted September 1999)."
