Purpose: In September 2024 Cabinet approved resetting Local Plan preparation as a result of government changes to national policy and revised figure of housing need. Resetting preparation necessitated changes to the programme of preparing the Local Plan to be set out in a revised Local Development Scheme (LDS). Cabinet delegated authority to the Executive Director of Sustainable Communities, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Built Environment, Housing and Sustainable Development to agree and publish revisions to the LDS reflecting revisions to the Local Plan 2025-2043 programme. A set of further minor/factual revisions to the preparation programme for this Local Plan are necessary and these are set out in revisions to the LDS. The revisions are subject to officer approval as per the delegated authority outlined above. The revised LDS is published in March 2026.
