Consultation has concluded

We expect a summary report of the consultation outcomes and any proposed amendments to the Publication Draft Plan, in response to representations, to be reported the Strategy & Resources Policy Committee in July 2023.  These would then be considered by full Council in September before being submitted to the Government alongside the Publication Draft Plan later that month. We would like to thank everyone for their contributions.

We are working on a new Draft Local Plan (The Sheffield Plan) which will guide the future of the city by setting out how and where development will take place up to 2039.

We previously consulted on an Issues and Options document ("Sheffield Plan: Our City, Our Future - Issues and Options 2020" in September/October 2020). We have now progressed the Sheffield Plan to the next formal stage known as Regulation 19 (Publication). The Regulation 19 Draft Sheffield Plan is the document that will be submitted to central government for examination in public. It is the version that we seek to adopt, subject to that examination, as the future framework for decision making on planning.

The Publication Draft Sheffield Plan is made up of the following documents:

  • Part 1: Vision, Spatial Strategy, Sub-Area Policies and Site Allocations
  • Part 2: Development Management Policies and Implementation
  • Annex A: Site Allocations
  • Annex B: Parking Guidelines
  • Key Diagram
  • Policies Map
  • Glossary

All these documents plus supporting documents are available under the "Draft Sheffield Plan and "Supporting Documents" sections on the right hand side of this page.
