The Epsom and Ewell Local Plan
The Epsom and Ewell Local Plan provides the local policy framework for the borough against which planning applications will be assessed.
The adopted Plan currently consists of:
Plan E - An Area Action Plan for Epsom Town Centre (2011)
Development Management Policies Document (2015)
The Local Plan is supported by an extensive Evidence Base. These background studies and surveys have helped to inform the adopted policies and will underpin future policy preparation. Amongst other material, this evidence base includes the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) and Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).
Review of Local Plan
Reviewing our Local Plan
As a result of changes to national planning policy, work is currently underway to review our Local Plan policies. The timetable for the review of the Local Plan including consultation and the publication of the update is available to view within the attachment at the bottom of this page.
The Council has published a new document 'Making the Efficient Use of Land Optimising Housing Delivery 2018' in response to the publication of the revised National Planning Policy Framework. This is an interim measure to boost housing delivery and give greater certainty to the local plan process.
Please see our Local Plan issues and options consultation page for information about our ongoing consultation, and associated documents.
