Final chance to have your say on Local Plan
The Plan, which is made up of the Core Strategy and Settlement Proposals Document, sets out the planning policies that will guide how the area will respond to an increasing population and changes in lifestyle over the next 15 years.
The Plan also looks to ensure that housing, employment land, schools, shops and other facilities are provided for, while preserving and enhancing the district’s special characteristics.

The final phase of public consultation will focus on three questions: is the Plan legally compliant, is the Plan sound in terms of conformity with national planning policy, and does the Plan comply with the ‘duty to co-operate’.

Where relevant, respondents should also provide wording for the changes proposed.
