Local Plan Stages

We'll gather evidence for the issues we need to address.

Stage 1

We'll consider how best to address the issues.

Stage 2

We'll consult on the preferred policies & site allocations/designations needed to deliver the plan’s vision & spatial objectives based on the findings from the Issues & Options stage.

Stage 3

We'll publish a draft plan with supporting evidence, request stakeholder and community views.

Stage 4

This document is an Addendum to the Publication Draft and contains only focussed proposed changes and any modifications to boundaries on the Policies Map.

Stage 5

We'll submit the plan and supporting evidence to the Government’s Planning Inspectorate – examination (testing).

Stage 6 Stage 6a (now complete) – Gypsy and Traveller Site Focused Consultation

We'll formally adopt the new plan, providing it’s been prepared correctly, and use it to determine planning applications.
