FEBRUARY 2025 LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION UPDATE
BANES are launching two documents available from the
4th of February outlining the resetting of the Local Plan.
1. Local Plan Reset Document and Call for Sites
As a result of changes to national policy and the government’s proposed
revised housing figure aimed at tackling the country’s acute housing
crisis and stimulating economic growth, we are resetting our Local Plan.
This document updates you on why we need to reset the Local Plan,
what it means, and outlines some broad approaches to accommodating new
housing, employment development, and supporting infrastructure across
the District. This document also marks the re-launch of conversations
and working with key stakeholders, particularly those representing local
communities.

Alongside publishing this update document, B&NES are running another call
for sites to hear your suggestions as to potential sites we should
consider for development for housing and economic uses. The call for
sites consultation closes 24th March 2025.
2. Consultation on Draft Co-living Position Statement
We are holding a 4-week consultation on our Draft Co-living Position
Statement. The Draft Co-Living Position Statement is not linked to
the Local Plan reset.
Co-living is a relatively new model of housing with no standard policy
definition. The adopted B&NES Local Plan does not currently include a
policy relating specifically to co-living schemes, against which to
assess development proposals. As such, we are seeking comments on a
draft position statement relating to co-living schemes, which sets out
the Council’s interim position on this type of development. It clarifies
the position the Council will take when assessing planning applications
for co-living proposals, with regards to the following topics:
* Amenity and Space standards
* Occupancy
* Sustainable construction
* Affordable housing contribution
* Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liability
Please respond using the online webform (Consultation on Co-living Position Statement | Bath and North East Somerset Council) to provide us with comments
on the content of the Draft Co-living Position Statement. Please submit
your comments by 4th March 2025.
We will review all comments carefully and make any relevant amendments
prior to publishing the final position statement in April 2025.
If you have any queries relating to this consultation, please email
planning_policy@bathnes.gov.uk.
