The Local Plan Options document, recently approved by the Cabinet on 1st
February, marks a crucial step in shaping the future of our district. We
value your input and invite you to participate in the eight-week
consultation, which will run from 12th February to 8th April, now extended to 16th April.
Options for addressing our future development needs, including the
delivery of new homes and jobs across Bath and North East Somerset, as
well as policies addressing a range of issues including the climate and
ecological emergencies, are presented for your consideration and
comment. These options align with the council’s Corporate Strategy and
Economic Strategy, aiming for a fairer, more prosperous, and sustainable
economy.
Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to share their thoughts on the
proposed options by responding to an interactive version of the Local
Plan online at https://www.bathnes.gov.uk/localplanoptions [1], as well
as taking part in a series of in-person events.
The consultation opens today (12 February) and runs for eight weeks
until 8 April. You are encouraged to respond online on the council
website: https://www.bathnes.gov.uk/localplanoptions [1]
