The Local Plan Conversation engagement exercise has now closed

Thank you to everyone who took part. A copy of the feedback report, comments on existing Local Plan policies and suggestions of sites and locations for new development and land that is important to protect, are available here. There were a number of comments that did not relate to the Local Plan but to issues dealt with by other Council departments. Where possible all these other comments have been passed to the relevant services.

The findings of this engagement were discussed by the Council’s Cabinet on 20 April 2022. Information about the meeting is available here.

Your feedback supported this discussion at Cabinet, where it was agreed that the Council commits to an update of the Local Plan (Part One) and commences initial work, including evidence gathering in advance of this, and establishes a cross-party Member Working Group. A report setting out the scope and timetable will be approved at a future Cabinet meeting.

We have asked for your thoughts and ideas focused around the six themes of: Climate, Jobs, Homes, Health, Travel and the Environment.

These themes might not reflect your priorities or there may be other issues and ideas you would like to share with us relating to the Local Plan and planning policy. For example:

  • Minerals
  • Energy
  • Design
  • Tourism
  • Agriculture
  • Student accommodation
  • Gypsy and Traveller sites
  • Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
  • Land contamination
  • Hazards
  • Sport and recreation
  • Culture
  • Infrastructure
  • Education
  • Noise
  • Air quality
  • Waste

Please submit a comment below to help us gather these ideas.
