New timetable for the delivery of Local Plan

9 October 2024

Cabinet has approved a new timetable that will push back adoption of the borough’s Local Plan until early 2028.
All local planning authorities must prepare a Local Plan that sets out a planning framework for their area. It includes how much development should be permitted and how it should be distributed around the borough. By law, it must be used when deciding future planning applications.
