• Claire Miller (26 September 2024)

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

  Council wards are available as part of the boundary-line dataset and also published by ONS
