The West Dunbartonshire Local Plan will provide the local planning framework for the Council area, excluding that part which is located within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. The Plan outlines where and what type of new development is suitable throughout the Plan area and which resources are to be protected. It will guide development and investment decisions until 2012. When adopted it will replace the Dumbarton District, District Wide Local Plan and Clydebank Local Plan, providing a single plan for the area for the first time.
A Reporter from the Scottish Government Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals held a public inquiry into objections made to the Finalised Draft West Dunbartonshire Local Plan between 18 Noveber 2008 and 1st December 2008.
