LANDOWNERS, developers and community groups are being invited to contribute to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park’s new Local Development Plan, influencing development up to 2040.

The Plan (LDP 3) will guide what kind of development can take place – and where – across the National Park until 2040. As part of this process, a formal call for land submissions has been opened. The Authority has launched a Call for Candidate Sites, open from January 26 to April 27, 2026.

This is the opportunity for people to nominate specific parcels of land they believe should be considered in the Plan – either for development or for protection. Suggested uses can include housing (including affordable housing), employment sites, retail or commercial space, renewable energy projects, green infrastructure and leisure facilities.

Sites submitted during this window will be assessed using a detailed methodology that takes into account national planning policy, environmental designations, infrastructure, and viability. The strongest sites will be shortlisted for potential inclusion in the Deposit Plan, due to be published in 2028.

To be considered, a site must be submitted via the Candidate Site Submission Form, available at www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/call-for-candidate-sites-ldp-3. A separate form is needed for each site, and supporting evidence is encouraged – particularly in areas affected by flood zones, nature designations or other known constraints. An interactive constraints map and detailed guidance notes are also available online.

Submissions must be received by 5pm on Monday, April 27, 2026, and cannot be treated as confidential.

An online information session for site proposers will be held on Tuesday, February 4 at 2pm. To register, email [email protected]. Please notify the team by January 28 if you would like to use the Welsh language in the session.
