Current planning consultations
Great Yarmouth Local Plan Proposed Main Modifications Consultation
Public consultation on proposed Main Modifications to the new Great Yarmouth Local Plan and accompanying documents is now closed. Following the close of the public hearing the Inspectors wrote to the Council advising that 'Main Modifications' will be required to the Plan in order for it to be found sound. Comments were invited on these Main Modifications alongside other potential minor changes to the Plan and the Policies Map. Comments were also invited on a revised Sustainability Appraisal and a Habitat Regulations Assessment on the Main Modifications.
Comments that were received during the consultation period will now be passed to the Inspectors via the Programme Officer.
Filby Neighbourhood Plan (review)
The Borough Council consulted upon the Filby Neighbourhood Plan (2022-2041) between 6 February 2026 and 20 March 2026. If adopted, the neighbourhood plan's policies will be used to help decide planning applications in the area. There is currently an adopted Filby Neighbourhood Plan which forms part of the development plan for the Borough. This consultation related to a review of the adopted document (or a 'Modification Proposal').
Upon appointment of an independent examiner, the plan, together with all duly made representations, shall be submitted for examination. Further updates regarding the appointment of the independent examiner and the formal commencement of examination will be provided on the Filby Neighbourhood Plan (review) status page.
Representations were asked to address whether or not the draft neighbourhood plan meets the basic conditions and other matters that the examiner is required to consider under paragraph 11 of Schedule A2 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended).
The submission documents which have been published can be viewed on the Regulation 16 consultation page page.
