Bromsgrove District Local Plan – Draft Development Strategy Consultation 30th June – 20^th October

Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012

Consultation has been extended to allow for additional time to comment.

New closing date 5pm 20^th October

Bromsgrove District Council is in the process of reviewing and replacing the Bromsgrove District Plan (adopted January 2017), which will set out where new housing, employment and other development alongside its supporting infrastructure will take place over the next 15 years.

This now extended consultation is all about further fact-finding and identifying where the Council needs to prepare or commission additional evidence to inform the preparation of the Local Plan as it progresses. The sites and the draft Development Strategy that are being consulted upon now is an initial draft and additional information is needed from you. We have already received a significant number of responses but are keen to hear even more views. A lot of information is already known about the all the sites submitted to date, but local knowledge from residents and stakeholders is invaluable to inform the plan-making process.

Portfolio Holder for Planning, Cllr Kit Taylor said: “A lot of people want to have their say on how we will control future housebuilding in the district. So far we’ve had a fantastic response and with over 400 sites proposed it’s vital we get this strategy right.

“Following a cross-party recommendation from the Overview and Scrutiny committee the Cabinet unanimously recommended an extension to the consultation to ensure that all residents and stakeholders can have their say.

“The council had already doubled the statutory six-week period for this important consultation, and four more weeks will now give even more time to digest the strategy and share what you know, through your letters, your emails, and your comments on the digital platform. It all helps.”
