Spelthorne Borough Council's consultation on a new Local Plan is now live
Spelthorne Borough Council is consulting on a new Local Plan which will set out how much development is needed in the borough for the next 15 years and where it should go. The finished Local Plan will contain policies for deciding planning applications and allocated sites for housing, employment and other forms of development.
The consultation went LIVE on Monday 14 May 2018 at noon. Go to the Local Plan consultation page to find out more.
The Council is at the first stage of preparing the new Local Plan, known as Issues and Options. The consultation paper sets out the key issues affecting Spelthorne to 2035 and the options the Council will consider in order to meet the borough's needs. It will identify the challenges and constraints for development but also the opportunities Spelthorne offers for growth.
Presentations are being held on 21 and 24 May and there are also a number of information events where residents can talk informally to staff:- to see the locations and dates click here

Cllr Colin Barnard, Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development, said: "The Local Plan will cover a range of themes that affect our community and this is your chance to have your say in shaping the future of the borough, so please get involved."
After this consultation, the Council will draft the new Local Plan before carrying out further consultation later this year. There will then be a third consultation before the Plan is submitted to the Secretary of State for examination by an independent inspector who will confirm if it can be recommended for adoption. We expect this process to be completed by September 2020.
