| Below you will find a link to the Adopted Review Colchester Borough Local Plan (March 2004). The Local Plan sets out land use policies, which govern how the Borough will develop up to 2011. To do this, the Plan provides for the wide range of new development required by allocating sites, whilst ensuring that this development preserves and does not undermine the high-quality rural, coastal and built environments, which are its heritage. It reinforces this by setting out a range of detailed policies, aimed at securing the highest environmental standards for all new development. These policies form one of the primary considerations in determining all planning applications that the Council receive. Costs Copies of the Local Plan are available to be purchased in paper form at a cost of £100 (including post and packaging). Cheques should be made payable to Colchester Borough Council and can be posted to the address outlined in the contacts below. In addition a CD-Rom version of the plan is available whilst stocks last. Contacts The Local Plan is prepared by the Planning Policy team and should you have any queries with it, the team can be contacted by telephone or by post on the contact details below.
