We are preparing a new Local Plan to replace the Local Plan that was adopted in July 2020.
As part of the early stage of preparing the plan, we undertook a Scoping Consultation, seeking views from local residents and stakeholders about what the plan should contain, key issues for the borough and how future engagement should be carried out. We also undertook a Call for Sites.
Both the Scoping Consultation and Call for Sites are now closed.
The scoping consultation will be followed with a consultation in autumn / winter 2026. This will focus on the vision of the plan, its aims and objectives, the proposed spatial strategy, and a summary of the evidence base.
We’ll be asking for your views on this and taking them into account when finalising the Local Plan.
For further information or support please contact the planning policy team at local.plan@chesterfield.gov.uk.
