Current planning consultations

Great Yarmouth Local Plan Regulation 19 (Pre-submission) 

The Regulation 19 Pre-submission consultation opened on 6 December 2024 and closes on 31 January 2025. The new Local Plan will eventually replace the Core Strategy and the Local Plan Part 2. The new Local Plan is presented as a single document, rather than being separate Local Plans covering strategy, allocation and detailed policies. The plan includes a strategy for development, including identifying needs for housing and economic development over the period to 2041. The plan also identifies land for development and other site-specific policies, as well as detailed policies to help determine planning applications. 

You are invited to make representations (comments) on the document between 6 December 2024 and 31 January 2025. Representations can be submitted using the online Local Plan Pre-Submission Representation Form or by emailing localplan@great-yarmouth.gov.uk. Your email must include the information contained within the representation form to be accepted. Further information including guidance documents, details of consultation events and evidence base documents can be viewed on the Emerging Local Plan page. 

Great Yarmouth Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Draft Charging Schedule

As part of the preparation of the emerging Local plan, the Council has considered whether it would be appropriate to introduce a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Consequently, following the March to May 2024 preliminary CIL consultation, the Council has produced a draft charging schedule and supporting evidence documents.

CIL is a levy which local authorities can introduce to require developers to make financial contributions towards the provision of infrastructure to support new development. Most development has some impact on the need for infrastructure and services, or benefits from them. CIL helps to ensure that the infrastructure that is needed to make development acceptable is funded and delivered. 

We are now consulting on the CIL draft charging schedule from 6 December 2024 to 31 January 2025. 

The consultation is at the Regulation 16 stage and is a formal consultation under the Community infrastructure Levy Regulation 2010 (as amended). To draft charging schedule, supporting evidence base and information regarding the consultation, including how to make comments, are detailed on our Community Infrastructure Levy Draft Charging Schedule - Regulation 16 Publication page.
