JUNE 12. Work is to begin this month on a further Local Plan (LP) for the long-term sustainable growth of St Albans District.

St Albans City and District Council is on track to adopt a new LP next month after more than three years of work.

However, during the plan-making process the Government made major changes to national planning policies including the methodology for assessing housing need.

As a consequence, it has now instructed the Council to begin work by the end of June on an LP that conforms to its revised guidelines. The Council is one of 39 local authorities instructed by the Government to do this.
