Proposals to speed up and simplify the process of making Local Plans were presented to ministers on 16 March 2016 and are now open for representations.
In September 2015 ministers launched a panel of experts – the Local Plans Expert Group – to examine what measures or reforms might be helpful in ensuring the efficient and effective production of Local Plans.
Ministers have received the detailed report from the Local Plans Expert Group and it is now open to the public for representations until 27 April 2016.
In addition, the Local Plans Expert Group website contains a volume of appendices and a series of discussion papers.
