Government Consultation on Planning
Posted by admin on Thursday, 15 October 2020
The Government is consulting on changes to the planning system. The consultation is available online.
Under the new system land will be allocated to zones. It appears that local people would have an input into defining these zones but, once a zone is designated for "growth", developers will be free to develop the area without further, detailed consultation at a local level.
The Borough Council has been actively considering the potential effects of the Government's reforms on the local planning.
