Candidate Site Submission Form
Call for Candidate Sites
A key stage in the process of preparing a Local Development Plan is to identify potential sites for inclusion within the Plan for a range of land uses including housing, employment and other uses such as community and recreation. It is also important to identify sites that need protecting due to their special landscape, open space or conservation value.
The Call for Candidate Sites is now open and the Council is calling on developers, landowners, community groups and members of the public to formally submit sites for potential inclusion within the Gwynedd Local Development Plan (LDP).
If you have sites you wish for us to consider including in the LDP please submit them using the on-line form below – see Submission Information. Alternatively, copies of the form can be obtained by contacting the Planning Policy Service on
planningpolicy@gwynedd.llyw.cymru
Submission information
Please complete a separate form for each site you wish to submit.
Once you have started a form, your progress will be saved automatically allowing you to complete it later. Any forms that have not been submitted can be accessed by going to My account and selecting Drafts. You can view and print your completed site submissions by going to My Account and selecting the Unprocessed tab. A print button is available for each form submission.
Submission
To submit your site(s) click the speech bubble icon to the left. For further assistance, please see the yellow help boxes at the beginning and end of this consultation.
The information submitted in the Candidate Site form will be used by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) to assess each Candidate Site against the Candidate Site Assessment Methodology. The submission of a Candidate Site gives no guarantee that the site will be allocated in the Gwynedd LDP.
Site proposers should refer to both the ‘Guidance Notes’ and the ‘Candidate Site Assessment Methodology’ when making their Candidate Site submissions. Both documents are available electronically and paper copies are available by contacting the Planning Policy Service.
A separate Candidate Site submission form must be completed for each site submitted. If alternative uses are proposed for the same site, a separate Candidate Site submission form will be required for each use.
The Candidate Site submission form sets out all the information required for the LPA to undertake a robust assessment. It is therefore important that site proposers complete all relevant sections of the form. If submissions are not being made via the electronic form, a map of the Candidate Site will need to be provided (see Section 3) for the submission to be accepted.
The Call for Candidate Sites will open on the 10 July 2024 for a period of 12 weeks. Completed Candidate Site forms need to be received by the LPA by the 2 October 2024.
How we will use your information
On 25 th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, placing restrictions on how organisations can hold and use personal data and defining rights with regard to that data. Any personal information disclosed to us will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice. The Council’s Privacy Notice can be found at
All Candidate Sites will be available for public inspection in the form of a Candidate Site register and cannot therefore be treated as confidential. Details of Candidate Sites will also be circulated to internal and external stakeholders to allow them to be assessed as part of the Gwynedd LDP process. No personal information will be included as part of this.
Contact details of all site proposers and their agents (where applicable) will be added to the Council’s LDP database. The Council will correspond with all stakeholders via email unless otherwise specified.
All forms and documents are available in both Welsh and English. The language choice submitted will be treated as the preferred language of communication.
