The purpose of a Scoping Consultation is to provide early engagement in the Local Plan-making process by 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 have carried out a Scoping Consultation, and this has now closed.

For information on the next stages of the Plan preparation please see our timetable for preparing the new Local Plan.
