Local Plan Update
From: Cabinet - Monday, 15th December, 2025 2.00 pm - December 15, 2025
In February 2019, Fenland District Council agreed to prepare a new Local Plan. Progress has been slower than expected since publication of the Draft Local Plan due to the uncertainty created by ongoing national planning reforms, Covid 19, updated flood-risk data, resourcing and procurement challenges, and the potential for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). It is now necessary to rethink our approach to ensure Fenland continues to have a strong voice after LGR. This report therefore recommends formally withdrawing the Draft Fenland Local Plan (2019–2040) and beginning work on a new Local Plan under the new plan making system introduced by the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023. Much of the work done to date can be updated and carried forward into this new process. The new Plan will provide a more streamlined, responsive, and forward-looking framework that reflects local priorities and clearly articulates the district’s ambitions. It will place people and place at its core—ensuring future development supports quality homes, good jobs, town centres, services, and resilient communities. It will also have a facilitative and inward investment focus which is increasingly important given the sluggish national economic context.
Recommendations Approved
Pride in Place Impact Fund - project proposal
From: Cabinet - Monday, 15th December, 2025 2.00 pm - December 15, 2025
Fenland District Council has been awarded £1.5 million from the Government’s Pride in Place Impact Fund to support capital funded initiatives across the district. Building on the previous report in November to accept this funding, this report proposes the project to receive this funding over the coming 16 months. Following an initial discussion with elected Members, and a review of the Fenland Inspire! projects within the Council’s Business Plan, the recommended use for the funding is to enhance open spaces facilities and play areas across the district in line with the Fenland Inspire! project aims.
