Councillor Dafydd Meurig, Cyngor Gwynedd’s Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: ⁠“We are eager for developers, landowners, Community Councils, and any other member of the public interested in how we plan our communities in the future to let us know about sites they want us to include in the Plan.

“This is an opportunity to either submit land for development or to highlight land that should be protected because of its environmental value, special landscape, or social value. I call on the people of Gwynedd to make the most of the opportunity.”

Anyone wishing to propose a site can do so using an online form or downloading a paper copy from Cyngor Gwynedd’s website.
