The draft Local Plan consultation closed in 2024 and lasted a period of 13 weeks. The consultation period was open from 25 October 2023 until 31 January 2024. The draft Plan set out the council’s vision for the borough, priorities for the plan, preferred policies and proposed housing and employment sites. 

Key priorities and objectives for the draft Plan included:

• tackling climate change and achieving carbon neutrality
• maximising inward investment and employment opportunities
• securing better homes for all
• improving health, wellbeing and tackling health inequalities
• protection and enhancement of green and natural environment
• delivering regeneration, renewal and stronger communities.

Issues and Options consultation

The consultation period was open 12 October 2020 - 8 January 2021.

Telford & Wrekin Council commenced a review of the Telford & Wrekin Local Plan. An Issues and Options consultation document was produced which introduced the development priorities for the borough up to 2040. The Issues and Options stage was the first step to reviewing the current Local Plan.

The Issues and Options document set out:

• in detail the priorities for the Local Plan Review
• options for the amount of employment and housing development
• proposed updates to policies and in some cases the addition of new policies.

Evidence and supporting documents

To inform and support the developing Local Plan review, the Council has commissioned a range of evidence base documents, all of which are available on the Local Plan website.
