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 have published our Notice of intention to commence preparation of the Chesterfield Borough Local Plan.

You can view the timetable for preparing the Local Plan here.

We will soon be carrying out a scoping consultation to gather views on what the plan should cover, how communities and stakeholders should be involved, and to understand what additional sites may be available for development. 

Alongside this, we will be launching a ‘call for sites’, to update our information on what land may be available for different uses in the borough.

If you want to be kept up to date with the Local Plan please email local.plan@chesterfield.gov.uk with ‘get updates’ as the subject.
