The Planning Policy Team

What does the Planning Policy Team do?

The Planning Policy team works to set out a policy framework within which development decisions are made.  This includes the establishment and delivery of a long-term vision for the future development of Gedling Borough through:

The preparation of planning policy as contained in the:

• Local Development Framework, which will eventually supersede the Replacement Local Plan. This new system offers the opportunity for residents and stakeholders to contribute their views on a series of documents that together will form a framework for spatial development in the Borough.
• Replacement Local Plan adopted July 2005.  Before you proceed to the Replacement Local Plan Page please read the following:

As a result of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, policies in the adopted Gedling Borough Replacement Local Plan were due to ‘expire’ on 12th July 2008, being 3 years after the date of adoption of the Plan.  In order for the Borough Council to retain policies beyond this date, agreement needed to be sought from the Secretary of State to issue a direction to ‘save’ them.  The Borough Council submitted a list of policies, and their intentions for them, to Government Offices in January 2008..............  See Saved Policies

Research and monitoring:

• An Annual Monitoring Report is produced in December each year, which sets out information on a range of issues from housing to employment development. This allows us to monitor progress on key aspects of Gedling’s development.

The preparation of Development Briefs:

• We produce Development Briefs for major housing sites that set out our expectations for development and issues that we expect developers to take into consideration when submitting planning applications.

The review of Conservation Areas:

• We have an ongoing programme of consultative Conservation Area Appraisals, to ensure that we are protecting those historic areas that local residents value. We also address issues relating to Listed Buildings.  See Historic Environment Conservation Areas and Listed/Local Interest Buildings.
