Local Plan Stages

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

We'll consider how best to address the issues.

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.

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

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

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

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