LPIO Question IN3 invites comments on the proposed plan period for the new Local Plan. The LPIO document states that the Council believe it should update the Local Plan to plan for a period of 15-years. Adoption of the new Local Plan is unlikely until at least 2027. We would therefore suggest that the plan will need to make provision to meet development needs to at least 2045 to ensure sufficient flexibility.

When setting the plan period, the Council should also ensure that it allows sufficient scope to ensure that at least 15 years remain on the plan period from the point of adoption of the plan as required by national policy. As set out above, this is likely to require a plan period to run to 2045 and additional flexibility should be built into this period to accommodate any additional delays.

National policy requires that new Local Plans should set policies for 15 years following adoption, as a minimum. It is considered that the New Local Plan period for CW&C should cover a minimum of 20 years, due to the scale of strategic development that is required to meet the current and future needs of the borough and to reflect the ambitious housing delivery targets set by Government. A plan period of 20 years would ensure that the Local Plan is able to set the strategic policies to meet the current and future needs of the borough. As such, the Local Plan period should be 2025 – 2045.
