Developers, land owners agents and other organisations are being asked to submit representations to help form the final document.

The proposed LDP2 contains the council’s settled view on the land use strategy, policy framework and proposals which will guide development in the city until the end of the 2020’s.

Consultation on the Main Issues report took place in 2016 and comments received helped to create current version of the proposed plan.

Now, after receiving the backing of councillors at a recent city development committee, the plan and accompanying documents have been published and are subject to consultation until October 9.

The LDP2 also sets out a series of strategies on how Dundee can maintain sustainable economic growth, build quality housing and sustainable communities and maintain the city centre as a viable retail district.

The plan maintains that the city centre will be given priority, with “high quality” shops being encouraged to take up residence in accessible locations to support the existing retail network.

Further to this, the plan will outline guidelines on what can and cannot be opened on the main thoroughfare from the Wellgate through the Murraygate to the Overgate.

Non-retail businesses will be kept to a minimum in the identified city centre area, because of the “lack of visitor attraction” they offer and their potential to “deaden” shop fronts.

Further to this, the LDP2 states there will be no support for pubs and bars being built in Dundee anywhere other than the city centre.

The V&A has been identified as having the potential to bring big benefits to the city centre as a “destination” shopping area.

A new city centre retail study is to be commissioned by 2020 by the council to support the “town centre first” principle set out in the development plan.

The council said it is seeking representations on unresolved matters that can be addressed through the Examination of the Plan by an independent Reporter appointed by the Scottish Government.
