The final stage of consultation on our Local Plan is now open.

We want to hear your views on the draft Local Plan and would encourage everyone who wants to have their say to take part in the consultation.

Further information on the Local Plan, including dates for the in-person drop-in events (they're in the graphic below too) and details of how to respond, can be found at https://haveyoursay.northtyneside.gov.uk/hub-page/the-local-plan

The drop-in events are an opportunity for anyone to pop along, chat to a member of our team and ask any questions you may have about the Local Plan.

Following the consultation, all responses will be considered before the Local Plan is submitted to the Government for independent examination.

Please note that to make sure your views are considered as part of the consultation, you need to submit a consultation response rather than just leave your comments below. Thank you.
