Which plan will be used in determining planning applications?
The decision on a planning application will be taken in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The development plan for Rushcliffe consists of the five saved policies of the 1996 Local Plan, the Local Plan Part 1: Rushcliffe Core Strategy (Core Strategy) and any adopted Neighourhood Plan. Other material considerations include the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Non-Statutory Replacement Local Plan (NSRLP) (where policies are consistent with the NPPF).
The Borough Council is currently developing Local Plan Part 2 (Land and Planning Policies). This will set out the non strategic development allocations and a number of detailed policies for managing new development, following on from the strategic framework set out in the Core Strategy. When adopted, Local Plan Part 1 and Local Plan Part 2 will constitute the statutory development plan for the whole Borough and will replace all former Local Plans.
What proposals maps are available?
Electronic versions of the Non-Statutory Replacement Local Plan proposals maps are available. These should be read in conjuction with the Amendments to Policies Map that was produced as part of Local Plan Part 1. A complete set of proposals maps will be produced as part of Local Plan Part 2.
Are there any Neighbourhood Plans in the Borough?
Yes. The East Leake Neighbourhood Plan was adopted by the Borough Council in November 2015. There are also other Neighbourhood Plans being prepared in Keyworth and Radcliffe on Trent. For further information please see the Neighbourhood Plan section of the website.
