Reigate & Banstead’s Local Plan Adopted

Reigate & Banstead Borough Council has formally adopted its Development Management Plan (DMP) after a Government Planning Inspector found it sound and legally compliant.

The DMP, adopted in September sets out planning policies to 2027 to guide development, its standards and how the borough’s character, heritage and environment will be protected.

The plan also identifies sites where new homes, businesses, shops and facilities could be built and follows scrutiny of it by the Planning Inspector and public consultation over three years.

Cllr Richard Biggs, executive member for planning policy, says: “Councillors and officers have worked extremely hard to secure a positive plan for Reigate and Banstead based on robust technical evidence.’

“The Inspector’s findings endorse our view that the DMP will deliver the housing, jobs and infrastructure the borough needs in a sustainable way, while protecting what people love about living here.”
