The adopted District Plan commits the Council to reviewing the Plan with submission to the Secretary of State in 2023. The draft District Plan 2021-2039 is published for Regulation 18 consultation which is the first formal stage in its preparation.

The Council is undertaking a District Plan review which will help shape the nature of development across the District over the next 17 years.
