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 are required to publish a Notice of Intention to Commence Local Plan preparation and publish a new 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.
On Thursday 23 November 2017, we adopted the Hull Local Plan 2016 to 2032. The Local Plan remains a part of the statutory development plan for Hull until the new plan for the city is adopted. It is used to guide new development in the city until 2032. The Local Plan provides a vision, strategic priorities for the city, and policies with supporting text based around key themes. The document needs to be read as a whole to understand the spatial issues facing the city and the connection between policies.
