The Council’s new Local Plan was adopted on 8 November 2022. The District Plan Second Review is no longer used to decide planning applications. These pages have been kept as a historic record of the 1996 Plan.
April 1996 version
The saved sections of the local plan do not include any of the supporting text or justifications for policies. As such, there are likely to be occasions when the original version from April 1996 is useful for reference.
