The preparatory work done for the Development Plan Document (DPD) was used to inform the preparation of the Local Plan rather than a separate DPD.
On 28 March 2014, the Local Plan and its supporting documents were submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Information on what happens next is set out on the Local Plan webpage.
Preparation of the Gypsy and Traveller DPD
Public consultation on the general approach for selecting site options for Gypsy and Traveller pitches was done in November 2006 (Issues and Options 1).
Public consultation on site options for Gypsy and Traveller pitches and Travelling Showpeople plots and draft planning policies was done in October 2009 (Issues and Options 2).
The decision to no longer produce a separate Gypsy and Traveller DPD was made at the Northstowe and New Communities Portfolio Holder Meeting on 25 January 2012.
The Issues and Options Reports and supporting documents from each round of public consultation are published in our document library.
