Local Plan review - issues and options consultation

Help us review your Local Plan

The Local Plan sets out planning policies and proposals for new development to make sure the Rugby borough is a great place to live, work and do business.

It is prepared in consultation with residents, businesses and other stakeholders.

Councils must review their Local Plan every five years. Rugby borough’s current plan was approved in 2019.

The Local Plan defines many things, including:

where housing can be built
which land can be used to provide employment
how vital infrastructure needs can be met, such as schools, green spaces, health care facilities and transport links
