Overview

Regulation 19 and why we are consulting you

The Castle Point Plan will set out where new development will be allocated, how much affordable housing will be built and includes policies for considering new development proposals such as infrastructure, community facilities, design and heritage and addressing the causes and potential impacts of climate change. It will support the growth and regeneration of the Borough up to 2043.

Regulation 19 is the next stage in the development of the Castle Point Plan and takes into account previous consultation feedback and evidence based documentation (Below) produced to support the production of the Castle Point Plan Draft (Regulation 19) Document:

Evidence based documentation  

Why your views matter

Unlike previous consultations, we are required to ask specific questions which gives the community an opportunity to comment on how the Castle Point Plan Draft document has been prepared, whether its aims are achievable, and whether it is based on robust evidence.  We are therefore seeking your views on whether you feel the Castle Point Plan Draft document is 'legally compliant' and meets the test of 'soundness', as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (above). When adopted, the Castle Point Plan will be used to help make decisions on planning applications in Castle Point.

It is therefore really important that everyone who has views on the legal compliance and soundness of the Castle Point Plan Draft document gets involved in this consultation. Please have your say!
