Brecon Place Plan 2025

The previous Brecon Place Plan was adopted in 2020 by Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The process was community led and prepared prior to the economic and social shocks of the Covid Pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis which impacted communities across the country. The Plan was reviewed in 2025 to enable the local community to identify needs, support investment, and access resources to deliver proposals.
