What happens if we don’t have a Local Plan?

If we don't have a Local Plan, it leaves us open to unplanned development (often referred to as speculative development), this means:

  • we would have less control over where development happens and when it happens
  • we could end up with more homes than we're planning for in locations that we have not chosen
  • we have less control over supporting facilities like roads, schools and other services
