What is the Local Plan?

Preparations for the new Local Plan for Huntingdonshire are underway and we need your help to create it.

A Local Plan is a crucial for the future development of Huntingdonshire, it helps us achieve the goals set out in the Huntingdonshire Futures Place Strategy and Corporate Plan to 2028.

The plan influences policies that help shape housing, infrastructure, and employment while addressing vital issues like climate change, affordability, and flooding. The aim is to achieve sustainable development that meets today's needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Last year, we asked for your input, and we've used your feedback to shape our options.

We are now consulting on three key documents:

• Further Issues and Options - Sets out options for what may be included in the new local plan. It also asks some questions about what is important to you.
• Land Availability Assessments - Assesses sites that were put forward by landowners, developers, agents and interested third parties to see if they are potentially suitable or unsuitable for development.
• Sustainability Appraisals - Assesses our strategies, options, sites and future polices against a series of sustainability objectives

We're hosting in-person events from 2 PM to 8 PM where you can view the Local Plan documents, ask questions, and share your thoughts.
