Strategic Development Plan

We are committed to transforming the South West Wales Region into a more competitive, connected, and resilient economy, and strategic spatial planning, allied to new powers in transport and economic wellbeing, will help to achieve that.

In line with these ambitions, we will collaborate with local authorities and the National Parks to produce a Strategic Development Plan, setting out an overall vision and strategy for South West Wales, and identifying the strategic locations and places for future growth and change.

A key purpose for this Plan is to work across local authority boundaries, reflecting how people live and work. As a long-term plan (with a minimum range of 25 years), it is intended that it will, ultimately, enable a more consistent, efficient approach to land-use planning. The Plan will be developed over a number of years and our goal is to have the Strategic Development Plan adopted around 2031.

The development of an SDP gives SWWR the opportunity to better plan and deliver regionally important, strategic growth in a coordinated, cross-border manner, aligned with the Regional Transport Plan.
