Local Plan review 2020 to 2041

What was it all about?

Development plans such as Hinckley & Bosworth Borough’s emerging Local Plan are subject to a process called sustainability appraisal. The sustainability appraisal assesses the potential social, environmental and economic effects of the plan’s proposals.

We prepared the following documents as part of the sustainability appraisal process.

How we involved you

Between Friday 27 November 2020 and Friday 15 January 2021, we asked you for your comments on the sustainability appraisal consultation. Comments received help shape the process and feed into the development of the emerging Local Plan.

You can still read the documents, but you won’t be able to comment on this stage:

• The sustainability appraisal assesses the potential social, environmental and economic effects of the plan’s proposals.

We sought views on the appraisal to feed into the preparation of the emerging Local Plan
• Habitats regulations assessment - Sept 2020 (PDF)
