Notice of Intention to Commence

Under the new plan-making system, the Council is required to publish a ‘Notice of Intention’ to commence Local Plan preparation.

The Council has a deadline of 30 June 2026 by which to do this. The Notice of Intention provides communities and other stakeholders with advance notice of plan making so they understand when and how they can get involved in preparing the new Local Plan.
