Cotswold District Council is preparing a new Local Plan for the 2026 to 2043 period. This new plan will, once adopted, replace the existing plan adopted in 2018 and provide a policy framework to inform planning decisions in the district.

 

The purpose of this report is to make a series of recommendations, principally relating to the Publication of the Local Plan for six weeks consultation in August and September 2026 and submission to the Secretary of State in December 2026 for independent examination.

 

It is anticipated that an examination would take place during 2027 with Plan adoption expected around March 2028. 

 

Recommendations:

That Council:

      i.        Agrees the Cotswold Local Plan 2026 – 2043 (Regulation 19) document is published for six weeks consultation from 24 August 2026 to 5 October 2026.

     ii.        Agrees that thereafter, the Cotswold Local Plan 2026 – 2043 (Regulation 19) document is submitted to government for independent examination.

   iii.        Provides delegated authority for the Director of Communities and Place in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning, to make any minor corrections prior to consultation, including for typographical and formatting purposes AND following the Regulation 19 consultation to prepare an ‘Additional Modifications’ Schedule for submission if required.

   iv.        Notes the technical supporting evidence in preparation for publication alongside the Cotswold Local Plan 2026 – 2043 for consultation.
