Where can I find out more?
SDC are running a number of drop-in sessions where you can meet their friendly Planning Policy Team throughout July, August and September to find out more about the Draft Local Plan and what’s proposed for your area. No appointment is necessary and you’re welcome to attend any session, wherever you live, so please do visit them.

The consultation period runs from 16th July until 5pm on 10th September 2018.
What happens next?
Once the consultation closes on 10th September, all your comments will be considered by SDC’s Planning Policy Team. They will then publish their final version of the Plan later this year, taking account of your comments. You will have an opportunity to comment then, too. This version of the Local Plan will be submitted to the Government and examined at a public examination in Spring 2019
If approved by the Government, SDC hopes that the Local Plan will be adopted and used by the Council later in 2019.
