  • North West Leicestershire Local Plan Partial Review
    North West Leicestershire Local Plan Partial Review STATEMENT OF COMMON GROUND between Blaby District Council Charnwood Borough Council Harborough District Council Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Leicester City Council Leicestershire County Council Melton Borough Council North West Leicestershire District Council Oadby & Wigston Borough Council Xx xxx 2019 1 Introduction 1.1 The North West Leicestershire Local Plan was adopted in November 2017. It sets out a strategy for delivering the homes, jobs and infrastructure needed in the district between 2011 and 2031. The Council committed to start a review of the plan within three months of the date of adoption. 1.2 There are two main reasons why an immediate review was required: A shortage of employment land up to 2031 compared to what is needed (as identified in the Leicester and Leicestershire Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment, or HEDNA) The possible need to accommodate additional housing arising from unmet needs in Leicester city. 1.3 The review commenced in February 2018. It was the district council’s intention that the review would be a ‘partial review’ to address those issues above. It was also the intention, as required by Policy S1 of the adopted Local Plan, to submit the review for Examination within two years of commencing it. 1.4 Through the granting of a number of planning permissions, the district council is making good progress towards addressing the shortage of employment land. However, there remains a lack of sufficient clarity regarding the issue of unmet housing need in Leicester City and how such need would be redistributed amongst the Leicester and Leicestershire authorities.
