The Strategy and Policy Team regularly undertakes consultations on the development of its Local Plan and other related policy documents.
We want to ensure that our plans are supported by residents, stakeholders, businesses and other members of the community as we recognise that planning affects everyone in some way. Therefore, it is important that people understand the planning process and are given the opportunity to get involved in it so that they can share their ideas and influence planning decisions.
