Current Position:  The current Local Plan was adopted at the Central Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Planning Committee (CLJSPC) meeting on 13 April 2023, marking the end of a four-year review.  

This plan remains the current Local Plan for the area, however, it is widely anticipated that an early review will be announced very soon, with further details below.

The CLJSPC authority have not yet confirmed how they intend to respond to the wide-reaching changes to the planning system recently announced by the Government.  A Call for Sites and Partial Local Plan Review is expected, and so our team have been busy meeting with clients, developers and landowners alike to discuss how to effectively promote their sites and to ensure they are ready.

Perhaps most significant amongst the proposed changes are new mandatory housing targets and NPPF revisions that will provide better support for housebuilding in all areas, including potential amendments to Green Belt controls.

What is the timescale?  Following consultation over the autumn, the Government have recently advised that they intend to introduce the changes from late January 2025.  This might change, so check back for regular updates or contact our team today.

What do you need to do?  Be ready!  High-quality, effective and reliable planning representation is vital. Sites need to be promoted in the right way, and at the right time.  The window of opportunity in each area is normally very short and strict, so preparation is key. 

Fytche-Taylor's team have hands-on local authority experience having led Local Plan reviews and Call for Sites consultations and as a planning consultancy we hold an excellent track record in securing site allocations for our clients.  We know what to present and how to maximise the potential of your site so that it stands out as a credible and deliverable development site.
