Local Development Plan

Planning policy is prepared at a national, borough and neighbourhood level. Planning policies provide the basis against which all applications for planning permission are assessed.

We are responsible for preparing a Development Plan for Charnwood to provide a long term strategic planning framework for the borough. Please see our pages on the adopted Local Plan for more details. 

We also provide support to communities preparing Neighbourhood Plans, information can be found on our local plans website.

A timetable for the Local Plan review is set out in the Local Development Scheme for Charnwood. The Development Plan is supported by:

• Supplementary planning guidance
• Evidence base 
• Monitoring (including 5 Year Housing Land Supply) 
• Statement of community involvement
