Current Local Plan

The Local Plan sets out the level of growth that needs to be planned for in the Borough. It sets out where that growth should be located and how it should be delivered. It also sets out the planning policies which the Council will use in determining planning applications.

The Local Plan for Great Yarmouth is made up of two parts:

• Core Strategy (Local Plan Part 1 - 2015)
• Local Plan Part 2 (2021) 

Both plans are used when assessing planning applications. Please note the Local Plan Part 2 amends a small number of policies in the Core Strategy.
