A Local Place Plan allows you to shape the future of your local area by creating a plan that addresses local needs or concerns. All LPPs must be submitted by September 2026 and will be considered by the Council as it develops the City Plan 2040.
LPPs include things like:
- where new homes will be built and what kind of homes are built
- providing services that people need within easy reach
- making sure there are enough places of work within the city
- improving walking, wheeling and cycling routes and access to public transport
- supporting residents physical and mental wellbeing
- protecting the natural environment
- responding to the climate crisis, such as adapting to increased flood risk
