protection and enhancement of green and natural environment

What happens next?

Responses from the draft Plan public consultation will inform the preparation of the next stage of the Local Plan Review which will be for the council to produce a publication version of the Plan. Residents and stakeholders will then have further opportunity to comment on the next version of the plan.
