This consultation has been produced by the Council as an initial stage in the preparation of a new Local Plan to extend to 2042. Councils are required to consult when preparing a Local plan (under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012). The Regulations require that the Council must
“invite … representations to the local planning authority about what a local plan with that subject ought to contain”.
This consultation seeks views in response to this overall question through a series of consultation questions, with an open-ended question at the end for you to raise any matter that you consider should be included within the Fylde Local Plan to 2042, that has not been otherwise covered in the other consultation questions.
The representations received will be considered, and will inform the content of the Local Plan. The Local Plan will then be subject to a further consultation (under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012), before being submitted to the Secretary of State, for Examination in Public.
