Full Council resolved on 18 April 2024 to withdraw the Regulation 22 Submission version of its Local Plan, Our Local Plan 2033, which was submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination on 18 January 2019.
The withdrawal has been made under s.22(1) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. As required under Regulation 27.a of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, we have published a Statement of Withdrawal of the Local Plan.
The withdrawal was made following the finding by the Inspector, Philip Lewis, dated 14 February 2024, that the Local Plan was not capable of being adopted due to soundness issues. This is the Inspector’s final report.
