  • Local Plan
    Recommendations Approved

    The Council decided to approve recommendations for the Cotswold Local Plan 2026-2043 on 12 August 2026. This approval allows for the publication of the Local Plan for a six-week consultation and its subsequent submission to the Secretary of State for independent examination. The Director for Communities and Place, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning, has been granted delegated authority to make minor corrections before consultation and to prepare an 'Additional Modifications' Schedule if required.
