Melton Local Plan Partial Update: Pre-Submission Local Plan Update Consultation (Regulation 19)
Overview
We need to review our local plan every 5 years. As part of this latest review, we have prepared a Local Plan Update for Melton Borough (partially updating the 2018 adopted Local Plan).
This has been developed following feedback from our public consultation that took place between November 2023 and January 2024 - thank you to everyone that took part and shared their views with us. The final stage of this update is to submit the Local Plan to the Secretary of State for independent examination.
Before we submit our Local Plan, we would like to give you an opportunity to review the document and give your views.
At this stage in the update process, we do not make significant changes to the Local Plan after we have received your comments. Instead, the representations and comments will be submitted to the Secretary of State for consideration as part of the Local Plan examination where they will be considered by the appointed Planning Inspector.
Therefore, when reviewing the document and making your comments you must consider whether the Local Plan is 'sound' and whether it complies with the necessary legal requirements for plan making.
All comments must be submitted by 11:59pm on Friday 28 February 2025.
Why your views matter
The Local Plan sets out the Council’s vision and aims for the development of the borough, focusing on housing, employment, and infrastructure. We are required to review our Local Plan every 5 years, to check they are still working, relevant and fit for purpose, and to identify any policy gaps that may have arisen. Before submitting the Local Plan to the Secretary of State we want to ensure it is ‘sound’ and works for our local communities.
By sharing your views at this stage, your comments will be included in the submission to the Secretary of State and considered by the appointed Planning Inspector.
