The Local Plan and COVID-19

In light of the ongoing situation in relation to COVID-19, officers are working from home, however progress continues following the adoption of the Local Plan on 29 July 2020.


The Local Plan sets out how planning applications should be decided, and identifies areas for development (including brownfield sites) and areas which should be protected from development because of their environmental, social and economic value.
