Partial Update - September 2023

The Breckland Local Plan was adopted on 28 November 2019. It sets out a strategy for delivering the homes, jobs and infrastructure needed in the district between 2011 and 2036. Policy INF 03 included a requirement for the Council to undertake a Partial Review of the Plan with regard to housing, non- travelling gypsy and travellers, accessibility of homes standards and economic development. This would be submitted for examination November 2022. In the event that the review was not submitted for examination by this time, then the Council's policies that relate to the supply of housing, economic development and Gypsies and Travellers would be deemed to be out-of-date.

The Council has completed a single policy review of Policy INF 03 that proposes amendments to the Policy and supporting text. This was necessary to ensure that the housing supply, economic development and Gypsy & Traveller policies in the Local Plan were not deemed to be out-of-date for decision-taking by the words of Policy INF03 itself.

Details on the Partial Update are below.
