Regulation 18 consultation
We're undertaking a formal consultation to review and reconsider housing sites for at least 505 dwellings in the Mendip area following a High Court Order to make amendments to the Mendip Local Plan Part 2 (LPP2).
The consultation began on Wednesday 28 February and will run until Friday 12 April 2024. We're keen to hear from as many people as possible – residents, community groups, town and parish councils, landowners and promoters, as well as developers and their agents.
As we're making changes to a development plan, proposed sites are subject to formal consultation before submission for public examination. The consultation only makes proposals in the former Mendip District (Somerset East) area and is intended to:
- Ensure that views of statutory consultees, communities and other stakeholders are captured and considered
- Inform the final proposals for inclusion in the Local Plan Part II
- Demonstrate that consultation has been undertaken to comply with our Statement of Community Involvement and to fulfil the legal requirements set out in planning and environmental legislation
To have your say, visit our Mendip Local Plan Part II consultation webpage.
All consultation documents can be found online via our Adopted Local Plans webpage.
Paper copies of the documents will also be available to view at the Shape Mendip offices in Shepton Mallet. Documents can also be viewed online from our other Customer Access Points.
We'll hold online briefings in March and April. Dates will be advertised via the Adopted Local Plans
page above, including briefings for:
- Town and Parish Councils - Monday, 25 March 2pm to 3pm
- Public webinar – Monday, 25 March 7pm
- Somerset Agents Forum - Wednesday, 27 March at 11am
