|Why we are writing to you: We’re letting you know that we have launched a consultation on the Proposed Local Development Plan for your area which will ultimately be used to assess planning applications for development. The Plan identifies a site near your address that we consider to be suitable for future development. The Proposed Plan is a 

consultation document so you have the opportunity to let us know what you think about the site and other Plan content by 12 noon on Friday 17 June 2022. Please note that this letter is not notification of a planning application, however it does set out the Council’s support for the principle of development. For the site to be developed in the future, an application would need to be submitted by the landowner or developer for consideration by the Council.
