Local Plan - Consultation 2024 - Full Survey

Overview

What is the Local Plan review?

We are at the first stage in the preparation of the new Local Plan. The Local Plan Review will identify how much development we need in the next twenty years and where it should go. It will also include policies to protect the environment, respond to climate change, and ensure high-quality design to create places that meet community needs.

The Issues and Options documents include an initial assessment of the key issues in the Borough, options for the scale and location of new housing and other development and how our existing policies need to change. The sites included in this consultation have been put forward by landowners and developers. At this early stage, we have no view about which sites should be selected for development and we want to hear your thoughts.

Why your views matter

This was the first stage of public consultation on the Local Plan Review. We asked for your comments to better understand the issues facing the borough and to consider the most appropriate growth options.

The consultation on this stage of the Local Plan closed on Wednesday 29 January 2025. We are now considering all the comments received.
