Masterplans

Masterplans are required for most allocated major housing development sites, as identified in the Local Development Plan.

The aim of the masterplanning process is to promote good place-making and ensure future developments are designed to the highest standard, encompassing social, environmental, and economic requirements to create the sustainable communities of the future. Successful masterplans set out a clear idea for the future and demonstrate an integrated approach to community participation, site planning, sustainable transport, servicing, community facilities, design, ecology and landscaping. Successful places are sustainable and have a distinct identity.
