Local Plan
We adopted our Local Plan on 22 May 2018, following receipt of the Inspector’s Final Report. The Local plan covers the period from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2031 and forms part of the Development Plan for the Borough.
The Local Plan is supported by a Policies Map, which includes an Inserts Map to show detailed planning designations.
