The brief

In June 2026, the Borough Council began the process of producing the next Local Plan, which will cover the period 2026-2044.

To support the Local Plan preparation, the Council will need to renew or update its current evidence base.

As part of updating the evidence base, a new “whole plan” Viability Assessment is required, to provide a policy-by-policy assessment of Local Plan policy obligations and site-specific proposals.
