Northumberland Local Plan – Publication Draft Local Plan -Consultation 30 January to 13 March 2019
Comments on the ‘Publication Draft’ of the Northumberland Local Plan will be invited by Northumberland County Council during a six week period between 30 January 2019 and 13 March 2019.
The draft of the Publication version of the Local Plan and the Policies Map was agreed by the NCC on 9th January. The minutes and the draft of the publication can be accessed from the following link: http://committee.
The Local Plan sets out strategic planning policies and planning principles for the whole county, the general scale and distribution of new development, and the detail of where new homes, workplaces and facilities will be located. The Publication Draft Local Plan provides the final opportunity to comment on the document before it is submitted for independent examination.
In February and March 2019 NCC will be hosting a number of drop-in sessions around Northumberland. The drop-in sessions will include a small exhibition and staff from the local plan team will be present to help answer questions and advise on how to provide comments. The dates, times and venues for these drop-in sessions are provided below for your information.
