You can view our Draft Plan in full (via PDF) or you can view it by chapter - whichever you prefer, as there is a lot of information to consider! You can find this information by following the links on this page, or via the homepage of this website.

Whether viewing the Draft Plan in full, or by individual chapter, you'll be invited to submit your comments. You can comment as much, or as little, as you like. Every comment matters.

At the end of the consultation, we will look at every one of the comments received. All of those comments will help us pull together the 'Submission Version' of our Plan for the Garden Community. This is the version we'll hold another consultation on, the one we'll submit to the Secretary of State, at the end of 2022, and the one which will be examined by an Independent Planning Inspector in 2023. Our explainer video and jargon buster on this page tells you more.
