A scoping consultation is the first consultation stage in preparing a Local Plan. It will help us to identify the key issues, priorities and opportunities that the Redcar & Cleveland Local Plan should address. It will also help us to decide how we should undertake engagement for the future draft stages of the Local Plan.
In the scoping consultation, we will be asking for your views on how we should engage with you as the plan progresses, what key priorities the plan should cover and what local issues should be addressed. We will also be seeking views on how you think we should develop the vision for the new Local Plan and the future of the borough.
The consultation will run from the 16th November 2026 to the 18th December 2026.
