After years of work, forthcoming reforms to the planning system will see an overhaul to the way in which the documents are drawn up
The race is on for Preston, South Ribble and Chorley councils to complete years of work that will determine where and how many new houses are built in each area – or else face having to start the lengthy process all over again.
If the summer 2025 date were missed, almost seven years worth of effort would, at least in part, go to waste – an outcome that Preston City Council’s cabinet member for planning and regulation David Borrow warned would be costly for each of the authorities concerned. In the absence of an up-to-date local plan, councils are usually expected to give the green light to all forms of sustainable development provided that any disadvantages of doing so would not “significantly outweigh the benefits”.
The disputes have often resulted in public inquiries – involving all three Central Lancashire districts – at which planning inspectors sometimes came to different conclusions about how the local arrangements should be interpreted, leading to wild fluctuations in how many homes each borough is expected to build at any given point.
