Local Plan

Last updated on: 09-Apr-2021

1. Overview

A Development Plan (or Local Plan) sets out the planning policies that guide development in the borough. By law, we must decide planning applications in accordance with our Local Plan, while also taking into account any material considerations.

The Development Plan for Gravesham consists of the following:

• Gravesham Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Map
• Gravesham Local Plan First Review - Saved Policies
• Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan

Regulation 18 Stage 2 Consultation

We are preparing a partial review of the Local Plan Core Strategy, Site Allocations and a Development Management Policies Document.  A Regulation 18 Stage 2 ran for six weeks from 23 October until 31 December 2020. This followed on from the Stage 1 consultation, which closed on 11 July 2018. Once adopted, these documents will form part of the Development Plan and replace some of the policies in the adopted Local Plan Core Strategy and the remaining saved policies in the Gravesham Local Plan First Review.

To find out more about this consultation and help to shape the development of the Borough up to 2036, please visit our consultation page.
