We are consulting on the Regulation 18 Preferred Options for the new Local Plan.

This is the first draft of our new Local Plan for Rutland and contains the Vision, Objectives, Spatial Strategy and Planning Policy framework which we consider will best address the challenges and utilise the unique opportunities that face Rutland now and in the future.

The draft Local Plan has been informed by the responses we received to our Issues and Option Consultation in Summer 2022. It has also been informed by the new and updated evidence base that has been prepared, this includes research on specific issues relating to the Plan and range from; Retail and Town Centre to Climate Change and Viability, as well as emerging Council and Regional strategies.

This document looks and reads like a new Local Plan, but it is still a work in progress. We welcome your comments and ideas on how it can be improved to best creat a happy, healthy and well Rutland for all.

The easiest way to view and comment on the plan is via the online portal.
