Planning Policies

How we provide this service

(Further information can be obtained from the Local Plan section with the main A-Z). This service is supported by Planning and Development, Planning.

The South Holland District Council Local Plan sets out the planning policies which will guide and control new development in the District until 2021, encouraging the economy to grow and allowing more housing to be built as part of a balanced strategy.

Having considered the representations made to the First Deposit Local Plan, the Council published a revised Re-deposit Plan.

We have decided to progress with the Local Plan under transitional arrangements and re-deposit the entire plan. This involves a binding inspector's report and no possibility of a proposed modifications stage.

Re-depositing the plan in its entirety provides opportunities for representations to be made on all aspects of the plan which are then considered at inquiry. The inquiry was held January - April 2006 and the Inspector's Report is available on the Local Plan Inquiry page.

The Local Re-deposit Plan can be viewed online or at the Council Offices, at all the local libraries and at one of the Local Plan roadshows we have organised across the District. The Local Plan can be purchased for £30 or £40 including p&p with cheques made payable to SHDC.
