Local plans

The former Forest Heath area Single Issue Review of Policy CS7 and the Site Allocations Local Plan documents were adopted by West Suffolk Council on 19 September 2019. To view documents go to www.westsuffolk.gov.uk/fhlocalplan

The adopted local plans covering the former St Edmundsbury and Forest Heath areas (and all related policy documents, including guidance and SPD’s) will continue to apply to those parts of the West Suffolk Council area until a new Local Plan for West Suffolk is adopted. This is currently scheduled for mid-2023.
