We have been advised by the District Council that the Local Plan consultation runs for 6 weeks from Thursday, April 18 until 12 noon Friday, May 31, 2024. To help you we have produced a FAQ Sheet and a Guidance Note to help explain the process for this consultation.
Comments must be made in writing and the simplest way to do this is by using our online consultation system. You can make comments on a specific policy or area of the plan, and they will be uploaded straight into the system.
The Publication Plan and supporting evidence are available to view online at Local Plan Review | South Staffordshire District Council (
sstaffs.gov.uk) and there will be hard copies of the plan at the Community Hub in Codsall, local parish council offices and libraries in South Staffordshire.
All comments made will be submitted with the Plan to the Secretary of State who will appoint an independent Planning Inspector to hold a Public Examination into the Local Plan review. Dates for the Examination will be set by the Planning Inspectorate (PINS). The Inspector will decide whether or not the plan can be adopted or if any changes need to be made. If you make comments to this consultation, you will be notified of the Examination timetable.
We have some in-person public consultation events (by appointment only), online Q&A sessions, virtual appointments or you can telephone on 01902 696423 to speak to us direct. See the information below about how to take part in the events.
