Consultation on the Proposed Submission Draft Local Plan has started today (Thursday 16 July) and closes at 5pm on Friday 11 September.
This is your last chance to make comments before the council makes a final decision in the autumn to submit the plan for independent examination.
Unlike earlier consultations, this stage focuses strictly on the plan’s legal compliance and soundness.
The easiest way to respond is online.
