Consultations & Engagement
Live Engagement
A new phase of engagement for the Strategic and Local Plan began on Monday, 20 October 2025
Drawing on the insights and feedback gathered during the initial engagement in 2024, this is another important opportunity for residents, businesses, and partners to have their say on the future of our area.
We are engaging on a number of topic and evidence papers. Each paper will be open to participation for a six week period.
You can explore topic papers and evidence studies, and sign up for notifications about new papers as they are released via our engagement portal.
This engagement will run until June 2026.
