Local Plan review timetable

LATEST NEWS: 

23 April 2025 - The Council is now considering and working through the implications of the Inspector's Letter.  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have been produced to answer some key questions relating to the Inspector's Letter.  The FAQs may be updated to take account of further information and should other key questions arise.

22 April 2025 - We have received and published the Inspector's Interim Findings Letter (ID08) under Post Submission Documents of the Examination Library webpage.  The Council has also published HDC Initial Response to the Inspector's Interim Findings Letter (HDC00) under Post Submission Documents of the Examination Library webpage.

Local Plan Review Timetable

The formal Local Plan timetable is set out in the Local Development Scheme. This document sets out the production timetable for the planning documents we will be publishing over the next three years.  Whilst it is reviewed on a regular basis to take account of changes to our anticipated Local Plan preparation timetable, there may be changes to the formally published dates due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g. the General Election, or, post-submission, the Local Plan Inspector requiring timetable changes).  We will update our website accordingly.

For a more detailed explanation of each stage of the Local Plan, or how we consult please visit our What is a Local Plan? page and our Statement of Community Involvement documents.
