Bassetlaw District Council’s Local Plan is considered to be ‘sound’ by the independent Planning Inspectorate following examination, with the addition of some recommendations known as Main Modifications, which are a normal part of the Local Plan process.
This means that the Inspectors agree that the Bassetlaw Local Plan sets out an appropriate way to deliver sustainable housing and employment, supported by new infrastructure, across the district for the next 14 years on sites put forward by a range of landowners from across Bassetlaw.
The Local Plan calls for a total of 11,195 homes to be built across the district by 2038. However, because a large number of new homes have either already been built, allocated through other routes such as Neighbourhood Plans or have planning permission, the Local Plan only allocates 2,387 new homes to be built by 2038 – an average of 133 new homes each year.
To support the creation of 9,699 new jobs and housing, the Local Plan requires significant infrastructure benefits across the district with land and financial contributions set aside for two new schools, health services, five trees for every new house, new parks and open spaces, transport improvements including road junctions and financial contributions to support Bassetlaw Hospital.
