The Local Plan sets out Rutland's planning policies, and lists sites for additional housing, employment or other development during 2018 to 2036.
On Monday 10 February 2020 Council approved the pre-submission Local Plan to proceed to the formal Regulation 19 public consultation stage. Whilst the start of the Regulation 19 consultation was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has now taken place. It ran for 10 weeks between 27 August and 6 November 2020.
We are currently considering all of the representations received during the consultation period.

We've also issued two notes relating to the published version of the plan - the first gives clarity on the relationship between the Strategic Objectives and the Policies within the Plan, and the second sets out a list of errata identified in the plan. These notes should be read alongside the Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Local Plan.
