What is a Local Plan?
A local plan is a key document used by local planning authorities to guide and manage the development of their respective areas. Local plans play a crucial role in shaping the physical, social, and economic aspects of communities. These plans are also known as local development plans or simply development plans. The specific terminology may vary depending on the region within the UK.
