Once all other stages of the plan development process are complete, we will submit the Local Plan to the Government for an independent examination.
The examination will look at all of the responses received during the final Submission Draft Regulation 19 consultation.
The examination is likely to include a public hearing held by a planning inspector who will consider whether the plan is 'sound'. The inspector may also recommend modifications to the plan before we can adopt it.
Local Plan examination
The Rutland Local Plan 2021 to 2041 was formally submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on 28 February 2025.
