Introduction - New Local Plan
The Council has prepared a new borough-wide Local Plan focussed on the period up to 2031.
This new Local Plan has been consulted upon and now is at the examination stage.
This new Plan, once adopted, will form part of the Council's Development Plan and will replace the current suite of adopted local plans. The new Plan will have a time horizon up to 2031.
In the interim, the suite of adopted local plans and any adopted Neighbourhood Plans will continue to represent the core of the Council's Development Plan, having been prepared under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
