New Local Plan proposed modifications consultation July 2019

We're developing a new Local Plan which will replace the current Local Plan; these documents are intended to provide a development framework for the whole city, forming the basis for planning decisions.

Our new Local Plan is currently in the process of examination by independent planning inspectors, following submission of the Local Plan to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government in May 2018.

In March 2019 we submitted a letter to the Inspectors [EX CYC 13] detailing 'proposed modifications' to the new Local Plan, as a result of new evidence. The response letter from Inspectors [EX/INS/6], 7 May 2019 acknowledged the substantial amount of work we've undertaken and requested a further consultation due to new evidence being fundamental to the soundness of the Local Plan, particularly our overall approach to the Green Belt and the assessed Objectively Assessed Housing Need (OAHN), Figure 6. We replied on the 21st of May 2019 [EX CYC 19] and set our proposed arrangements for the consultation.

New Local Plan proposed modifications consultation July 2019

We consulted on the proposed modifications and new evidence to the new local plan, between Monday 10 June and Monday 22 July 2019.

The Inspectors considered comments on the proposed modifications and new evidence in terms of:

  • if they made the new Local Plan legally compliant
  • if they made the new Local Plan 'sound'
