Wychavon's Local Plan
A key responsibility of the District Council is to make
decisions on planning issues including building on land or changing
its use. These planning decisions need to be made in accordance
with an up to date Local Plan.
The Council adopted the Local Plan on 23rd June 2006.
There were no High Court Challenges to the Local Plan during the
statutory 6-week period. An up to date text version of the Plan is
now available, please click on the link below.

The current local plan was adopted on
23 June 2006. The new planning system allows for the local plan to
be valid for a period of 3 years from the date of adoption (i.e. up

Secretary of State (via the Government Office for the West Midlands
- GOWM) to save a number of policies in the local
plan beyond the date of adoption.

for West Midlands have confirmed that; as of the 23rd June
