Borough of Redditch Local Plan Scoping Consultation
Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2026
The Government has introduced a new plan-making system. The new Borough of Redditch Local Plan will be produced under this new system.
The aim of the new system is to create a faster, more streamlined, and more digitised plan-making system. Further information is available here.
This Scoping Consultation represents the first stage in preparing the new Local Plan under the new system. At this stage, we are seeking your views on:
- the content and scope of the Local Plan; and
- how you would like to be consulted and engaged as the plan progresses.
Please note that this consultation does not identify development sites or draft planning policies.
