Local Plan
We are working on the Local Plan, the main document which will help us to achieve our future goals. The Local Plan will set out how much, what type and where new development could take place over the next 20 years.
Have your say
The next stage in the Local Plan process will be the Publication Draft document.
Consultation on this stage ended on 12 November 2012. LDF Panel on 28 January 2013 (see item 10) considered a report on the responses received. We will be in touch with everyone who has commented with information on what will happen next.
