Local Plan timetable amended
Uttlesford District Council has taken the decision to amend the Local Plan timetable.
The council is committed to developing the best plan it can for the district and has reached an important stage in the process. Taking some additional time now will allow the council to explore variations on the emerging strategy, carry out further engagement with councillors and give officers the space to incorporate feedback when drafting the Local Plan chapters and preferred options.
The first draft Local Plan - known as the Regulation 18 Local Plan - will still go out to public consultation in the summer.
