Local Plan

South Somerset Local Plan 2006 -2028  

The Local Plan sets out the long term planning framework for the district up to the year 2028. It represents the starting point for decisions on where development will be located in the district and will be used to reach conclusions on planning applications across South Somerset.

The plan sets out the Council’s objectives for providing enough homes, jobs and services, in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to make the district prosperous both now and in the future.

The South Somerset’s Local Plan was adopted on 5 March 2015 and is the development plan for South Somerset along with any ‘made’ Neighbourhood Plans.
