Local Plan 2040 (Part 1) 2022/23
Our Local Plan consultation from November 2022 to January 2023 focused on making the best use of land within our urban areas (i.e. outside of the Green Belt), including building at higher densities and on brownfield sites.
However, we knew that utilising existing built up areas alone would not meet the District’s housing needs, including the need for more affordable homes. To meet the District’s housing needs (at that time it was 712 new homes) to be built each year up to 2040.
