Local Plan Consultation Event
Leicester City Council is currently undertaking public consultation into its latest Local Plan, which will guide its planning policies and land use up until 2031.
The council has to draw up Local Plans every few years, to set out how it will adapt to ongoing changes such as population growth, the need to provide new jobs, houses and schools, and other infrastructure needed to support a thriving, growing city. It will look at subjects including where and when new housing should be built. It will also examine employment needs, including encouraging investment, creating new jobs and use of existing employment land.
The Local Plan will also explore the city’s transport needs, such as future transport options, tackling congestion and improving air quality.
