Mr Stuart Bacon Parish Council c/o 3 Mountfield Road LE9 7LW

Dear Sir / Madam

Blaby Local Plan Options Document Consultation

Blaby District Council are consulting on the new Local Plan Options Document. We want to hear the views of residents, community groups, businesses and others with an interest in the District.

This is the second consultation on the Local Plan and builds on the one we carried out in Summer 2019.

The consultation focusses on three key areas:  Options for the location of future development. It sets out the direction that the Council expects to take.  All reasonable site options. These are sites promoted to the Council for built development by landowners, developers and site promoters.  Initial information about the main policies we expect to include in the Local Plan.

Following this consultation, we will consider the comments that have been made and take them into account when writing the Local Plan. There will be further consultation on the Local Plan in 2022, followed by an Examination of the submitted Local Plan by an independent Planning Inspector.
