Concept statements, masterplans and development briefs

 

The Adopted Replacement Local Plan 2016 allocates a number of development sites for various uses which, because of the size, location and neighbouring uses and the uses proposed on the site, require a masterplan. As part of this process the borough council will prepare a concept statement for each of the sites. The subsequent masterplans will need to be prepared by developers in consultation with stakeholders, agreed with the borough council and must be in line with the concept statement for the site.


Concept statements

A concept statement is a simple, clear expression of the kind of place that a new development should create. It sets out how the policies and objectives of the Local Plan will apply to a specific site in order to deliver the best possible economic, social and environmental benefits. It is prepared by the borough council and is the subject of consultation before it is approved. (Concept statement protocol (PDF 28Kb)

Masterplans

Masterplans are also subject to consultation by developers before being submitted to the council for approval as planning guidance.(Masterplan protocol (PDF 20Kb)
 

As identified in policy DS4 of the adopted Replacement Local Plan 2016, developers will be required to fund the preparation of a masterplan for the following sites:
