Draft Local Plan

As part of the process of preparing a New Local Plan for the borough, the Council is now consulting on a Draft Local Plan. 

We encourage you to respond to this consultation and let us know if you think the policies and proposals in the Draft Local Plan are sound and can most effectively address key issues the borough faces such as fairness, health and wellbeing and climate change.

What is the Draft Local Plan?

The Draft Local Plan is the first full draft of the  New Local Plan. It sets out the Council’s proposed 15-year spatial vision for new buildings and development in the borough, together with a borough-wide framework for placemaking. It has been substantially shaped by residents, communities and other stakeholders and is informed by a comprehensive evidence base.

We will be holding a series of consultation events to provide information on the Draft Local Plan and get your feedback. Further details will be provided shortly. 

Integrated Impact Assessment and Call for Sites 

Alongside the Draft Local Plan, an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) draft report has been published for consultation. This assesses the equalities, sustainability and health impacts of the Draft Local Plan and we welcome comments to ensure that through the development of the New Local Plan the effects of its policies and proposals, need for any mitigation, and reasonable alternatives, are adequately considered.

We are also carrying out a ‘Call for Sites’ exercise to establish whether any further sites are potentially available in the borough for development and a ‘Call for Local Green Spaces’ where we are seeking nominations from the community of sites they believe justify protection in the New Local Plan as Local Green Spaces. 

Next Steps

Following this Draft Local Plan consultation, the Council will consider the comments received before preparing and consulting on a Proposed Submission Local Plan (Regulation 19). This will be the version of the plan the Council wants to adopt.

Following consultation on the Proposed Submission Local Plan, the plan together with any representations will be submitted for examination by an Independent Planning Inspector before final adoption by the Council.
