Emerging Local Plan
Rushcliffe Borough Council is preparing the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan with Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City Councils to help guide future development, including new housing, across our combined areas to 2038. The Strategic Plan will replace the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy which was adopted in 2014.
Consultation is currently underway on the Distribution and Logistics Preferred Approach. The consultation starts on Tuesday 26th September 2023 and will last for 6 weeks, closing on Tuesday 7th November 2023.
Further information on the Distribution and Logistics Preferred Approach, including how to submit comments, can be viewed on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan website.
A Preferred Approach was published in December 2022 and consultation on it closed on 14 February 2023. The Preferred Approach focusses on the amount and distribution of housing and employment development and the identification of strategic sites in the area to 2038.
Further information on the Preferred Approach can be viewed on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan website.
The consultation comments received are now being processed and will inform the preparation of the draft Strategic Plan, when there will be a further opportunity to comment.
Previous stage: Growth Options consultation
In July 2020 and February 2021, Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough, Nottingham City and Rushcliffe Borough Councils carried out a public consultation on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan Growth Options.
The main studies and other evidence base related documents which support preparation of the Strategic Plan are available on the Greater Nottingham Plan website.
