Consultations on the council’s Local Plan run until Sunday to have a say on the draft proposals and whether they’re sound and legal for setting out planning guidelines.
The aim is to make sure the policies are justifiable and in line with national planning policy up to 2031.
“It’s important people have their say,” mayor John Biggs said. “We have listened to their views to help us set out what development should take place how we should protect our assets.”
The policies are the guidelines for planning decisions so that new housing and business locations meet the needs of the East End’s growing population, set to rise by another 100,000 by 2027, but also to respect the surrounding environment.
