Notes
The partial review doesn’t change anything apart from the need for the early review by a specified time to allow the Council to progress the full substantive review. The Partial Review focussed solely on limited changes to Policy S1 and supporting text, whilst simultaneously undertaking a Substantive Review to complete the work on a Local Plan to 2039. This will include site allocations and other policy changes as necessary. The Substantive Review will be a full replacement of the Local Plan including a further replacement to Policy S1 setting out new housing and employment requirements. A key strategic issue relates to the consideration of redistributing potential unmet housing and employment needs for Leicester City.
The Partial Review does not change the overall strategy of delivering housing and employment within Policy S1, with provision continuing to meet the Objectively Assessed Need and housing requirement for the District identified in the 2017 Local Plan. There is no effect on the plan period or other policies of the 2017 Plan.
