Melton Local Plan

 

The Melton Local Plan was adopted in 1999 and provides the local planning framework for the Borough.  Since the Melton Local Plan was prepared the Government has introduced a new planning system based upon Regional Plans and Local Development Frameworks.  As a result the Melton Local Plan is becoming out of date and we have decided to replace it with a new plan that will be called the Melton Local Development Framework. 

 

As many local plans are becoming out of date and are being replaced the Government has considered which parts of an authorities local plan should continue to apply.  This is called the ‘saving’ process and policies which are considered to be up to date and appropriate under the guidance provided at the national and regional levels are ‘saved’ by the Secretary of State. 

 

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has made a Direction under Paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.  Only those policies listed in the Direction continue  to be part of the development plan.  

 

An interactive version of the Local Plan is available which allows the site specific policies relevant to a location to be identified.

 

The Melton Local Plan is available to donwnload below. Each excerpt is in the format as published in 1999 following adoption.  As a consequence the documents must be read in conjuction with the 'Saving' Direction as not all of the policies remain part of the development plan.

Melton Local Plan related information and documents

 

Melton Borough Council also produces detailed guidance on particular planning topics.  These are usually published as Supplementary Planning Documents. 

 

Melton Borough Council also monitors many of the outcomes from implementing the planning system, such as how many homes have been built or have planning permission.  This information also forms part of the Melton Local Development Framework and is pubished in our Melton Annual Monitoring Report.

 

Many of the studies, reports and other information which support the preparation of the Melton Local Development Framework are also available on this website.
