There is still plenty of time to comment, but please remember that comments need to reach us by Tuesday 15 July 2025 at midnight.
In response to some queries we have updated the What You Need to Know (FAQs). We have also updated the content on the front page of each consultation, including adding the short video to help get you started.
For anyone who wants to know more about what a local plan is, why we need one and what this consultation is about we have the Plan on a Page.
