Closed - Great Yarmouth Local Plan (Regulation 19 Pre-submission version)

In accordance with Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 representations were invited on the publication version of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan. The consultation opened on 6 December 2024 and closed on 31 January 2025. 

All 'duly-made' representations will now be processed and submitted to the Secretary of State for independent Examination, expected to take place during 2025. This will involve the appointment of an independent Planning Inspector, who will examine the Local Plan in detail on issues of soundness, legal compliance and compliance with the duty to cooperate.

Representations were invited that focused on whether the plan is legally compliant and meets the tests of 'soundness' as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
