There are currently three consultations taking place for plans covering separate, but related proposals.
North Somerset is preparing a local plan for the whole district, the Town Council is consulting on a neighbourhood plan for Portishead and the Wyndham Way Steering Group is working on the master planning of a specific area of the town centre.
North Somerset Council is inviting feedback on their draft Local Plan called preferred options, which will guide new homes, jobs and investment throughout North Somerset up to 2038.
The Local Plan rises to the challenge of finding the government’s target of 20085 homes and of climate change with policies which ensure development across the area is planned in a way which meets the council’s zero carbon target and which the council has some control over.
People can find out more at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/newlocalplan and come to the drop in event at Portishead Library on Thursday 7 April from 3 to 7pm.
