Local plan evidence base
The local plan evidence base is comprised of reports, assessments and studies covering topic areas relevant to planning and development of the borough. The information is used to inform and guide the preparation of planning policy and proposals in the local plan.
A number of documents are emerging and are anticipated to be published in the upcoming days to support a council meeting on the 24 July 2024.
