Bromsgrove District Local Plan Scoping Consultation
Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2026
The Government has introduced a new plan-making system which Bromsgrove District Council's new local plan will need to be prepared under.
Bromsgrove District Council is required to hold a scoping consultation. This scoping consultation is the first step in the new system. This consultation is limited to only considering:
(a) the content of the Local Plan; and
(b) how you would like to be consulted during the preparation of the Local Plan.
The scoping consultation does not identify development sites or draft planning policies.
In the summer of 2025, the Council consulted on a Draft Development Strategy (DDS), content of which is here and DDS consultation response summaries on settlements suggested for growth are available here.
The Council is listening, and whilst we won’t be able to satisfy all the wishes of a very diverse set of respondents our job is to as best as possible balance all of those competing wishes to produce a plan for Bromsgrove which provides certainty on how the district will develop in the years up to 2044.
Scoping Document Overview
This scoping document consists of 8 sections. Sections 2, 3 and 8 are for information only. Sections 1, 4-7 contain 9 questions.
