| The Current Local
Development
Plan adopted in 1994 
|
The local development plan sets
out how land will be used and developed in the future. It gives guidance
on where new development should be located in the Borough.
Once adopted, the plan is a legal document. Decisions on planning applications and appeals are made in line with the development plan unless there are sound reasons why not. A review is needed as nearly all the housing land
allocated in the current plan to 2001 has been developed or is in construction.
The
new plan will extend this to 2011.
