The land use planning system should contribute to the vitality of the Welsh language by creating
suitable conditions for thriving, sustainable communities, supported by an awareness of the
relevant principles of language planning.
Decisions regarding the type, scale and exact location of developments within a specific
community has the potential to have an effect on language use, and as a result on the sustainability
and vitality of
the language. This calls for strengthening the relationship between language planning and land use
planning.
The Welsh Government maintains that Welsh language considerations should inform the process
of preparing local development plans, and guidance is available to assist planning authorities in
this regard. Under the Planning (Wales) Act 2015, development planning at all levels now requires
such plans to include an assessment of the likely effects of their policies on the Welsh language.
Our aim: support the socioeconomic infrastructure of
Welsh-speaking communities.
