Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan

The Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan (AAP) is an emerging Development Plan Document (DPD) that will set out the strategy for future development across the two settlements.

The AAP will allocate land for housing, employment, retail, recreation/open space, community facilities and two urban extensions. It will also contain policies which relate to proposals that require site specific conditions such as design guidance, conservation and protection of open spaces, through development control policies which will be used in the day to day assessment of planning applications.

The consultation process

A Preferred Options AAP was published for a 6 week consultation period between Friday 7 January 2011 and Friday 18 February 2011. Comments received during this consultation are available to download from the AAP consultation page. These comments will be taken into consideration in the preparation of a proposed submission version of the AAP, which will be the subject of a further round of consultation in autumn 2011.

Prior to the preparation of the AAP, the council commissioned consultants Capita Lovejoy to assist them in the preparation of masterplans for the growth and regeneration of Earl Shilton and Barwell.

The Preferred Options AAP documents are available to download from the AAP consultation page. The earlier masterplan documents are available to download from the Masterplan page.
