A New Local Plan for Darlington - The Draft Darlington Local Plan 2016-2036
A new development plan for long term investment and growth for Darlington is being prepared for the next 20 years, up to 2036. It will set out where significant new development should go and will include policies to protect valued environments and heritage, and ensure liveable places.
We would like your views on the plan that is being prepared and the consultation has now begun on the Draft Darlington Local Plan 2016-2036, the Draft Policies Map and the Draft Sustainability Appraisal.
The consultation will run from Thursday 21 June 2018 through to Thursday 2 August 2018. All comments should be received by the Council by 5pm on the 2 August.
