New Local Plan Preparation: Previous Stages
About
During consultation on the draft Local Plan Part 1 public consultation in summer 2019, many people asked for more detail about what could be built where.
The Council has therefore produced a draft Site Allocations development plan document (DPD) that, when adopted, will become Part 2 of the Council’s Local Plan.
The draft Site Allocations document sets out the sites across the borough where development might happen. It assesses how this land could best be used to meet the needs of local people: how much housing, retail, workspace, leisure, community facilities, social infrastructure, public open space and other essential facilities could be built on the site while still respecting each neighbourhood’s character.
No existing amenities on a site (eg supermarkets, leisure centres) would be lost, rather they would be enhanced, expanded or improved.
A site would only be developed if a landowner wished to redevelop it.
Any proposals to develop a site would still need to apply for planning permission and achieve a high quality of design.
Recommendations in the document are based on a number of evidence bases.
Public consultation carried out during autumn 2020 sought to find out from local residents and stakeholders what might be appropriate uses on these sites, and whether there are any other sites in the borough that could accommodate the anticipated growth.
