Local Plan Review Consultation Responses
Responses to consultations inform the plan making process and are taken into account as we prepare each stage of the plan review.
In late 2022 the council carried out a public consultation on our emerging Local Plan which was intended to be the final stage before we submitted the plan to the Secretary of State for formal examination. However, the government published proposals in December 2022 to change national planning policy, in particular around Green Belt. This was pertinent for South Staffordshire and the plan was paused awaiting the outcome of the changes; however, these have not yet been published.
A summary of the comments made to the public consultation in 2022 have now been published online. You can view these comments via our online consultation portal here: https://sstaffs.oc2.uk/document/3
The comments made to us last year have been taken on board as we work to update the evidence underpinning the plan. We hope to have a strategy in place for further consultation in spring 2024, once the outcomes of the changes to national planning policy are known.
Further information about the representations made to the Preferred Options, for the Regulation 19 consultation and the forthcoming Examination are in this Consultation Information Sheet.
Viewing Published Representations (see also our step by step guide to the consultation system)
- To view published representations, click on the magnifying glass icon next to the question posed in the consultation and a summary of all the representations will be listed. Representations made which included additional information are displayed as an attachment to the summary and are available to download.
- Alternatively, representations submitted on behalf of an organisation can be found using the ‘search representations' option at the top of the document. Here will be listed all the organisations that submitted a representation. The search ‘by keyword' toolbar will also search for individual representations. However, the tool does not search by name, but rather the content of the representation itself.
