Local Plan Review - Adopted

Local Plan Review - Examination

The Local Plan Review has now replaced the Local Plan adopted in 2017.  It addresses a range of issues such as climate change, housing, employment, shopping and more.

On 8th July 2022 the Local Plan Review was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate in order for it to commence its examination.  The Local Plan examination was held between 15th November and 16th December 2022.

During the examination, a number of proposed changes (‘Main Modifications’) to the Local Plan were identified. These changes are considered likely to be required to make the submitted Plan ‘sound’ and legally compliant and therefore enable the Plan to be adopted.  Consultation on the Recommended Main Modifications, Additional 'Minor' Modifications and Recommended Policies Maps Modifications took place between 13th January and 24th February 2023.  A Further SA Addendum Report (Jan 2023) and HRA Addendum Report (Jan 2023) also accompany the Recommended Main Modification.

The Inspectors Report has now been received by the Central Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Planning Committee. The Inspectors Report and Schedule of Main Modifications Appendix are available to download below.
