Emerging Local Plan

The Council began work on preparing a new local plan in November 2024

It is expected the new plan will cover the period 2026 to 2043.

The Council’s plan-making intentions are included in the Local Development Scheme.

A call for sites exercise was undertaken from November 2024 to February 2025.

Work is being undertaken to update the evidence base to support the new plan and a draft plan is expected to be published by the end of 2025.
