Consultation and engagement

Consultation on a new Local Plan for Liverpool - Scoping engagement

Start date: Monday 16th September 2024
End date: Sunday 24th November 2024

What are we consulting on?

Liverpool is updating its Local Plan. The Local Plan is a planning document which guides the long term strategic spatial development of the city, setting out strategic priorities and policies over the next 15 to 20 years. It is a key opportunity to provide a strong and robust planning framework to deliver our ambitions for Liverpool’s sustainable growth and regeneration.

We are in the early stages of updating the Local Plan, and want to understand what our communities, businesses and other key stakeholders think should be included in a new Local Plan for Liverpool.  We are working with PLACED (Place Education CIC), who specialise in place education and engagement, to gather information about what should be included in the Local Plan.  We have an Engagement Scoping Document and are asking for your input into our spatial vision, strategic objectives and planning policy framework for the city.
