What is a Local Plan?
The Local Plan sets out the vision for future development in the borough over a 20 year period and includes the planning policies to help achieve this vision. It can do so by identifying locations that are suitable for good growth as well as for conservation and by setting clear guidelines for appropriate land uses, form and design of development. The aim is to achieve good accessible placemaking that protects and improves resident’s health and well-being, provides good quality homes, enhances the economy and environment.

IIA (Interim Report) and HRA Screening
The Council is carrying out an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) to consider the impact that the NLPR will have on environmental, social and economic objectives (Sustainability Appraisal). It also considers Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA). IIA is an iterative process (with Stages A to E) and the Interim report published as part of this consultation is Stage B in the process.
We have also undertaken a Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) Screening to establish if the NLPR is likely to affect any protected sites.
