The Government’s planning inspectorate will publicly examine Bassetlaw District Council’s draft housing plan setting out where 12,551 homes could be built. The housing document sets out where developments will be built until 2038 and also sets out policies to be used when deciding on new projects.
It also reveals where employment space can be created and what infrastructure is needed across the district to support economic growth. The Labour-led authority submitted the plan to the Government in July and the Planning Inspectorate has appointed two inspectors to assess it.
These inspectors will now carry out an independent review of the plan, assess its supporting evidence and review comments in previous consultations. The authority expects to adopt the document in 2023, providing it is accepted by the inspectors.
