Pride in Place
From: Cabinet - Monday, 9 March 2026 - 2.00 pm - March 09, 2026
Pride in Place is a newly announced initiative from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, set up to empower local communities, particularly in deprived areas, to take control of regeneration, high streets, public spaces and community assets. Two places have been selected in Plymouth – Devonport, Mount Wise and Morice Town and St Budeaux. Both places will receive up to £20 million, comprising both capital and revenue funding. This decision will delegate authority for Plymouth City Council’s representation in all Pride in Place matters, enabling the Strategic Director of Growth to sign key documents and endorse governance arrangements, and Regeneration plans.

Plymouth Local Plan: commencement, programme and delivery arrangements
From: Cabinet - Monday, 9 March 2026 - 2.00 pm - March 09, 2026
The purpose of the decision is to authorise the formal commencement of a new local plan for Plymouth by 30 June 2026, to set out a proposed timetable and programme, and to put in place appropriate delegated authorities for the programme moving forward. The primary reason for the decision is to satisfy the Council’s legal requirement to prepare a new local plan and to do so on a timetable which supports wider strategic initiatives (including the transformation of the City Centre and Team Plymouth) and enables the Council to benefit from government funding for local planning authorities that commit to start their local plans by 30 June 2026.
