We are creating a new Local Plan that will guide how the city changes and develops to 2045.
The plan will address the changing needs for new homes and jobs, and the services and infrastructure to support them.
The Plan will also need to consider how to protect and enhance the built and natural environment and contribute towards the creation of attractive places where people can live healthy, active lives.
Investment in infrastructure will help to unlock the city’s potential, enabling residents to enjoy a high quality of life in line with our declaration of climate and ecological emergencies.
The government has published new legislation and guidance that requires local authorities to adjust the way we prepare Local Plans.
We published a Notice of Intention to Commence Local Plan preparation and a Local Plan Timetable to provide communities and other stakeholders with advance notice of plan‑making so they understand when and how they can get involved in the new Hull Local Plan.
The Local PlanTimetable to provide communities and other stakeholders with advance notice of plan‑making so they understand when and how they can get involved in the new Hull Local Plan. The local Plan Timetable is updated regularly.
Scoping consultation
We have published a Notice of Hull Local Plan Scoping Consultation.
Our Local Plan Scoping Consultation is the very first stage of preparing our new Local Plan. The information presented in this consultation highlight the key challenges and opportunities that face the city. It also sets out what priorities the Local Plan may need to address, which could help shape the Plan's vision and objectives for the city up to 2045.
We are inviting you to access our consultation documents and explore a range of themes, including strategic challenges and opportunities, housing, economic growth, climate change, nature recovery, delivery infrastructure, connected and healthy communities, well-designed places and to ask your views on our engagement strategy.
Your views are important to us, they will help us better understand the issues facing Hull and identify opportunities for improvement, help shape future planning policies and the overall strategy for Hull's growth and development, ensure the Local Plan reflects the needs, experiences, and aspirations of people who live, work, study, and invest in the city.
We have already had valuable early conversations with communities across Hull about the city's future. Changes to the national planning system now provide an opportunity to refresh that conversation, test whether priorities remain the same, and gather new ideas. The feedback received so far remains an important part of the evidence informing the new Local Plan.
Call for sites
The Council has launched a call for sites. A call for sites is an early part of preparing a new Local Plan. It is to gather information to help us understand what land is available in the city to meet future needs.
Information provided will form part of the evidence base for the new Hull Local Plan. It will help the council assess the city’s potential land supply and help when developing sustainable spatial options and strategies for growth.
This is an opportunity to ask stakeholders, including developers, landowners, housebuilders, public bodies and private individuals, to propose land they think is appropriate for development in preparing the new Local Plan.
Sites can be submitted for development on a range of uses. Access further details on the Call for Sites.
