Public consultation begins today (Friday 11 April 2025) on Peterborough’s Draft Local Plan for 2024-2044, following approval at a special meeting of the Cabinet on Monday 24 March.
The deadline for submitting comments is 11.59pm on 29 May 2025 via an online form or paper copy returning by email or post.
The Draft Local Plan includes emerging planning policies and proposals for development. It also sets out where the proposed housing and employment sites are.
Ingrid Hooley, Service Director for Growth and Regeneration, said “At this stage, the plan is still in draft form, so the public’s feedback is essential in helping shape later versions. I encourage everyone to have their say.”
A series of in person and online drop-in events are available for people to attend:
- Tuesday 6 May 2025 – Online drop-in session via Zoom, 6.30pm
- Thursday 8 May 2025 - Queensgate Shopping Centre, outside the O2 shop from 5pm to 7pm
