South Derbyshire Draft Local Plan Review Part 1

South Derbyshire Draft Local Plan Review Part 1

The current Local Plan part 1 was adopted in 2016. Since this was some time ago, SDDC are revising the plan to consider changes in housing and employment requirements and improve the plan's protections for the natural environment.

SDDC will soon be consulting on a revised draft of the Local Plan Part 1 for South Derbyshire which sets out a strategy updating how much, where and which types of larger development will take place across the area up to 2039. It will provide planning policies and site allocations to guide change and enhance new development proposals.

SDDC consulted on the Issues and Options for this Local Plan review between October and December 2022 and considered the representations received and used them to develop this Plan.

The purpose of this consultation is to provide an opportunity for representations to be made on the Draft Local Plan Part 1 and to shape it through feedback. This is an important stage of consultation before the plan is finalised.

SDDC are asking your views on…

The Council's Draft Local Plan Part 1. This is an update to the currently adopted Part 1 Local Plan.

The Plan's Sustainability Appraisal, this is an ongoing process to assess the social, environmental and economic effects of the plan. The South Derbyshire Local Plan Part 1 Draft Sustainability Appraisal will be available on the Council website from Friday 25th October 2024.

You can also comment on other matters such as the Plan's evidence base or things that you think are relevant to the local plan as it develops.

To assist with your comments, they have highlighted key areas of the plan which have been updated as part of this Draft in Blue.
