A plan for the future development of Lichfield and Burntwood has been approved as sound by an inspector.
The Local Plan Allocations document seeks to designate areas for future housing and employment development.
It also reviews planning policies used to determine applications for planning permission.
Craig Jordan, head of economic growth for Lichfield District Council, said: “We’re really pleased the inspector’s report has determined that our Local Plan Allocations document is sound and legally compliant.
“This is a large body of work that sets out where future development should go across the district. It is the second part of our local plan, which we are currently reviewing.”
Subject to the final modifications suggested by the inspector being made, the plan will be presented at full council on 16th July for it to be formally adopted.
The full report and associated documents are available at www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/allocations.
