Local plan 2040

We are reviewing our local plan with the aim to create a new local plan that will provide direction on the future growth of the area. Once adopted it will replace the current local plan strategy (which was adopted in 2015) and the local plan allocations document, which was adopted in July 2019. Until the time the new local plan is adopted we will continue to use the existing local plan when making planning decisions.
