Until Local Plan 2031 Part Two is formally adopted, the policies within it will carry significant weight when we make decisions on planning applications. At formal adoption the policies within would carry full weight in decision making.

The process of adoption will be through the resolution at a future meeting with Full Council and in accordance with Regulations.  See National Planning Policy Framework.
