Since the publication of our Local Development Scheme in 2022, there have been some changes to national planning policy, and changes to the local plan making process are also in the pipeline, which will affect how we produce our new Local Plan and the timelines for doing so. The below indicative timetable provides expected timelines for our new Local Plan, however this will be subject to change once the new process is confirmed.
