Emerging planning policy
We’re working on a new local plan to set out a vision and objectives for Leicester’s growth.
Local Plan examination
We have developed a local plan which sets out a vision and objectives for Leicester’s growth until 2036.
The Local Plan is an important planning document that once adopted will set out the vision and aims for growth of the city up to 2036. The plan will be used to allocate sites for development, deliver infrastructure, influence economic investment and make decisions on planning applications.
Following previous consultations, the local plan has now been submitted to government. An independent examination is currently taking place to review the plan. Following approval by government, it will be adopted as planning policy to guide planning decisions in Leicester.
Call for sites
We're asking interested parties to suggest sites which could help meet the city’s need for new homes and jobs as well as other land uses.
The details submitted under this ‘Call for Sites’ will be assessed by us for inclusion in Leicester’s Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment, and sites may be considered for inclusion in the Brownfield Land Register.
If you would like to submit details of a site, you can do so using the link below:
Please note that a site plan of sufficient quality to adequately identify the site will be required. Guidance notes are available on the consultation website.
