The new Local Plan will be informed by a range of evidence which will be published here as it is prepared.

Some of the key pieces of evidence we will be gathering/updating include:

• Green Belt Assessment
• Housing Needs Assessment
• Employment Needs Assessment
• Gypsy and Traveller Needs Assessment
• Habitats Regulations Assessment
• Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment
• Retail and Leisure Needs Assessment
• Strategic Flood Risk Assessment
• Playing Pitch and Built Facilities Assessment
• Transport Assessment
• Viability Report
• Sustainability Appraisal

Until new evidence is prepared the withdrawn Local Plan 2024 Examination Library contains the most up to date evidence documents.
