Overview of the new plan-making system
The Government has introduced a new plan-making system. The new Borough of Redditch Local Plan will be produced under this new system.
The purpose of the new system is to create a faster, streamlined and more digitised plan-making system. Further details about the new plan-making system can be found here.
Redditch Borough Council held an ‘Issues and Options’ consultation in summer 2025 to begin the process for a new Borough of Redditch Local Plan.
Following the introduction of the new national plan-making process, the Council is required to hold a scoping consultation. All responses to the Issues and Options are vital and will help shape the Local Plan at later stages.
The scoping consultation follows the publication of the Local Plan timetable and the notice of intention to commence local plan preparation on 29th June 2026 both of which can be found here
