Local Plan Review

We are reviewing our local plan with the aim to create a new local plan that will provide direction on the future growth of the area.

Once adopted, it will replace the current local plan strategy (which was adopted in 2015) and the local plan allocations document, which is expected to be adopted in 2018. Until the time the new local plan is adopted we will continue to use the existing local plan when making planning decisions.

The review of the local plan is separate to the on-going work on the local plan allocations document. The allocations document will complete the current local plan and will be presented to members in May 2018 before being submitted for its examination

Scope, issues & options

The first stage of the local plan review is this scope, issues & options consultation. Everyone is invited to give their views as part of our local plan review from 30 April to 11 June 2018.

The first stage of the local plan review is this scope, issues & options consultation. The scope, issues & options document begins to consider some of the key issues facing the district and a number of potential solutions.
