On 15 January 2026, the South West Wales Corporate Joint Committee resolved to engage with key stakeholders on the draft Delivery Agreement, marking the first step in developing the SDP.

This early engagement was designed to promote meaningful and inclusive participation, underlining the Committee’s commitment to a fair and transparent process. 

The SWWCJC formally approved the Delivery Agreement on 24 March 2026. 

Final agreement was subsequently secured from the Welsh Government on 25 March 2026.
