Issue details

Colchester City Council has published its Regulation 18 draft Local Plan for consultation and invited Tendring District Council to comment. The two authorities have a long standing and constructive working relationship on strategic planning matters, supported by regular liaison and collaborative cross boundary work.
The response also reiterates both authorities’ commitment to preparing a Statement of Common Ground, which will help ensure continued alignment on strategic cross boundary issues as each authority moves towards Local Plan examination.
Submitting the response ensures Tendring District Council provides a constructive and proportionate contribution to the consultation process, consistent with the collaborative approach established between the two authorities.
