Local Plan
Our Local Plan sets out policies and proposals to guide planning decisions and establishes a framework for sustainable economic growth and development in the Borough up until 2032.
Our Local Plan (PDF) [8MB] covers issues including:
- how many new homes are needed and where they should be located
- the amount and proposed location of new employment land
- how we can protect and enhance the natural and historic environment
- plans for new infrastructure and the improvement of town centres and community facilities
We use our Local Plan (PDF) [8MB] and the maps associated with it to help us make decisions on planning applications.
