Local plan
Planning Policy consultations
We carry out public consultation at different stages of the plan-making process.
Meaningful engagement needs to start from the beginning. This allows the views of our community to be reflected in new planning documents and future development proposals.
Formal public consultations usually last for not less than six weeks. Consultation documents are always available to view:
- on the website
- at Number One Market Street
- at Parish Council offices (where applicable)
- at local libraries (where applicable)
Active consultations
There are no active planning policy consultations.
