The Call for Sites has now opened and will take place from
The submissions form and associated guidance are now available online.
The Call for Sites is part of the early preparatory work for the new Local Plan. The new Local Plan will set out a spatial strategy seeking to ensure that future needs are met, identifying sites for development and setting policies against which applications for planning permission are determined. The new Local Plan will replace the Waveney Local Plan adopted in 2019 and the Suffolk Coastal Local Plan adopted in 2020, which both plan for the period up to 2036. The new Local Plan will plan up to at least 2044.
The Call for Sites invites submissions of land to be put forward for consideration for allocation in the Local Plan. This is the very start of the process, and later decisions on preferred site allocations will be informed by a range of evidence and assessments and consideration of a strategy and vision for the plan, as well as by public consultation which will be undertaken during preparation of the plan.
