Local Plan Review
04/02/2026 - LOCAL PLAN REVIEW
RESOLVED: That the Overview and Scrutiny Committee noted the broad ‘direction of travel’ for the Local Plan Review pending formal laying and enactment of the relevant legislation and regulation; and provided any commentary as required.
REASON FOR DECISION: To ensure the Council is well-positioned to progress preparation of the Local Plan as quickly as possible once the new plan-making system comes into effect. Cabinet previously first resolved, in principle, that a review of the Local Plan should take place in January 2024. However, the Council did not progress on the review which was held back due to the delays in the publication of the regulations and guidance on the new Local Plan system.
