Evidence test page

We have undertaken research to inform the policy documents that make up the Local Plan. The research is called the 'Evidence Base' and comprises of reports and studies across the different topic areas listed below.

Evidence must be regularly reviewed and kept up to date to ensure we have an up to date understanding of the area and the issues that need addressing in the Local Plan.

We will update this page as and when new evidence is produced, or existing documents are revised. Lots of new research and evidence will be prepared for our Local Plan Review.
