Draft Local Plan consultation
What was it all about?
Between Wednesday 30 June and Friday 27 August 2021, we asked for your views on the draft Local Plan, which is the next stage in the process for preparing a new local plan for our borough.
The Local Plan is the key planning document for the borough, and it will guide future development in Hinckley and Bosworth up to 2039. The draft plan sets out a preferred strategy for housing and economic growth and includes a number of planning policies covering a range of issues such as conserving and enhancing the natural and historic environment, sustainable transport, good design and responding to the challenges of climate change. The policies will be used to guide development and respond to economic, environmental and social issues within the borough.
You can still read the document, but you won’t be able to comment on this stage:
