A this drop-in event you can view the Local Plan documents and speak to our team about the new Local Plan.
Our Local Plan guides how and where development will take place in the borough, and it is the basis for how we make decisions on planning applications.
The changes to national planning policy mean that a new Local Plan is now needed to include changes to our housing targets that have been introduced since the current Local Plan was adopted in 2020.
The new Local Plan will set out a strategy for the location, scale and quantity of development to 2044. This strategy will need to include requirements for housing, employment, other commercial uses, key facilities, infrastructure, the natural and built environment, and measures to address climate change mitigation and adaptation.
You can share your views on the new Local Plan.
Your views are really important at this stage of consultation as they will influence the next stage of plan making and will help determine what developments get planning permission in the future.
