The wider picture
The work and outputs of the masterplan will inform the drafting of the new South Gloucestershire Local Plan. The Local Plan 2020, is at an early stage of preparation but will eventually set out a new vision and a framework for the future development for South Gloucestershire. The production of the local plan will explore the issues, options and approaches that could be taken to meet our needs for new housing, a prosperous economy, community facilities, infrastructure, climate emergency and enhancement of the environment. The new Local Plan will eventually be used to make decisions on planning applications within South Gloucestershire, including Yate. The work and consultation taking place through this masterplan will enable focused evidence and ideas to inform the approach to Yate in the Local Plan.
The 'Phase 1' Local Plan consultation marked the start of the Local Plan 2020 process. The consultation ran from 27 November 2020 to 1 March 2021. Phase 2 on potential options for growth, protection, site proposals and place discussions will take place in late 2021, with the Local Plan consultation undertaken in 2022. The Local Plan documents can be accessed using the following link: https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/new-local-plan/. The next intended stage of consultation, Phase 2, will cover the potential options for growth, protection and more information and is likely to start in early 2022.
