Have your say on the Sandwell Local Plan
We want your feedback on Sandwell’s Local Plan. The Local Plan is a document that plans for the future development of our borough and sets sets out how and where we expect to build the new homes we need up to 2041, and what land is required to accommodate new jobs. The Sandwell Local Plan also sets out how we will address challenges like dealing with climate change, protecting our natural environment, supporting our high streets, and encouraging sustainable travel. It includes policies that will help us meet our target to be a carbon neutral borough by 2041.
Before the Local Plan is sent to Government, we are inviting residents to have their say on the soundness and legal compliance of the document. You can find out more about what ‘soundness’ means and what the legal requirements are by visiting our Local Plan Frequently Asked Questions webpage.
You can make comments until Monday 4 November 2024. Visit Sandwell Local Plan Publication (Regulation 19) – Sandwell Council – Citizen Space to provide feedback.
