The Council is currently reviewing its Local Plan that was adopted in February 2018.

A local plan, prepared by all Councils in consultation with its community, sets out a vision and a framework for the future development of an area over 15 years. It addresses the current and future needs for homes, employment, town centre uses, education, health, open spaces, transport and infrastructure. Once in place, the Local Plan will become part of Sutton’s statutory development plan, setting out planning policies that will be used to determine planning applications and allocated sites where development will take place for all types of uses. 

The first formal stage in producing a local plan is consultation for a minimum of 6 weeks on the ‘Issues and Preferred Options’ document. Informed by an extensive evidence base prepared by the Council, it sets out the issues facing the borough over the next 15 years and a series of policy options to tackle these. 

This first stage of consultation on the Issues and Preferred Options document, is expected to take place in summer 2024.
