South Gloucestershire Council is developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. The Local Plan 2020 will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over the next 15 years.

This is an important opportunity to:

• shape the places that we live, work and socialise in
• have a direct impact on quality of life, the natural and built environment
• have positive impacts on climate change, inequalities and encourage a green economy
• discuss choices and make decisions about where significant levels of growth for new homes and jobs might be located, and which areas should be protected

Phase 1 – Issues and Approaches

Consultation open – have your say

This first consultation is not about how much development is planned for individual places or which sites should be allocated or protected. Instead it’s about early ideas, discussions and suggested approaches which will inform future stages.

Your views and comments on this Phase 1 document will help to inform choices, decisions and detailed future discussions on options for growth and change in your area.

The phase 1 consultation will run from 27 November 2020 to 1 March 2021.

To find out more:

• read the phase 1 document
• watch the Local Plan videos to help you quickly understand what’s in this consultation
