Local Plan Options consultation launches

B&NES Council Leader Cllr Kevin Guy (pictured left with Cllr Matt McCabe, Cabinet Member for Built Environment, Housing and Sustainable Development) said: "I repeat the Lib Dems’ ambition: we want to see the right homes in the right places, with good transport options, services and jobs. The Government has doubled our housing target to 27,000 homes over the next 18 years. While this is a big challenge, it is a tremendous once-in-a-generation opportunity to plan for sustainable growth, better infrastructure, and more affordable housing.

“It is crucial that we hear your views on how you want your area to develop in the next 20 years. I urge everyone to take part in the council’s consultation which runs until 14 November.
