The draft Â鶹´«Ã½ Local Plan Regulation 19 public consultation closed on 30 June. Representations received are being collated and will be made publicly available in due course.
We are seeking views on the Â鶹´«Ã½ Submission draft Local Plan. This is the next stage (known as Regulation 19) in producing a new Local Plan for the borough.
The Local Plan is an important document, setting out planning policies to guide development in the borough over the 15-year plan period. The Local Plan:
- sets out the amount and location of housing and employment development
- supports the growth of the Town Centre as a new neighbourhood
- makes sure that the right infrastructure is in place to meet the needs of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s growing population
- protects the important historic assets and open spaces that are valued by residents and visitors.
We are also inviting views on several accompanying key and draft evidence documents. In particular, the draft Sustainability Appraisal and draft Habitats Regulations Assessment.
Comments on the Â鶹´«Ã½ Local Plan Review documents are invited during the consultation period.
