Local Plan

Local Plans set the framework for how areas will grow and change over the next 15–20 years. Engaging in this process is vital if you want to shape opportunities, protect your interests, or ensure your land and projects are properly considered. At Sibley Planning, we help individuals, businesses, developers, and communities take an active role in Local Plan consultations and decisions.

Who we help

• Landowners & developers – ensuring sites are promoted and considered for allocation.

• Businesses – making representations to support expansion, new premises, or changes of use.

• Community groups – understanding how policies affect local areas and how to respond effectively.

• Homeowners – clarity on how future policies may impact properties and neighbourhoods.

How we support you

We provide clear guidance on:

• Monitoring emerging Local Plans – tracking reviews and identifying opportunities or risks early.

• Submitting representations – preparing robust responses to consultations and policy changes.

• Influencing policies – highlighting local needs, infrastructure issues, and opportunities.

• Shaping the debate – ensuring your views are presented clearly to decision-makers.

Why choose us

With direct experience in Local Plan preparation, we understand how policies are formed, tested, and adopted. We provide the expertise to help you engage effectively, make your case, and influence the policies that matter most.
