A Local Area Plan does not contain development proposals, rather, it sets out policies and objectives to help guide any future development within an area.

A number of ‘site development frameworks’ are set out in Chapter 2 of the Local Area plan that provide site specific parameters for future development.

Proposed development is subject to assessment by way of a planning application.
