Stroud District Local Plan Review: Draft Local Plan Public Consultation
The Stroud District Local Plan was adopted in November 2015 and sets out a planning strategy for distributing development within the District and policies for protecting and conserving the natural and built environment. The current Plan covers the period to 2031. It is important that the Local Plan is kept up-to-date and the current Local Plan commits the Council to undertake an early review.
The District Council started the process of reviewing the current Local Plan in 2017 with an Issues and Options consultation to cover the period to 2040. This was followed by a consultation on an Emerging Strategy in 2018. We have now reached Draft Local Plan stage and this consultation sets out the Council's vision, strategy, sites and policies for meeting development needs over the next 20 years. More »
The public consultation will run for 9 weeks from 20 November 2019 to 22 January 2020.
