Progress update for Leeds Local Plan 2040 pdf icon PDF 673 KB

The report of the Chief Planning Officer provides a progress update for Leeds Local Plan 2040 (LLP2040). This will update planning policies relating to the overall strategy for development across Leeds up to 2040, including the amount, type and location of housing, economic, minerals and waste development needed; the approach to the City Centre and local centres; transport and connectivity; and set standards and criteria against which planning applications can be assessed. This paper provides a summary of the key themes and issues emerging from the consultation that was undertaken on the scope of this Plan in early 2023, and the evidence base that has since been and is still being developed to underpin the Plan. It outlines the intention to take an area-based approach as the starting point for planning for housing development that meets local needs in different parts of the District. It also outlines the approach to considering and assessing specific sites, and the next steps leading up to consultation on the ‘issues’ and ‘options’ for the Plan intended to take place in November 2024.
