In accordance with the Regulations, Rossendale Borough Council submitted the Rossendale Local Plan 2019 to 2034 to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for examination on 25 March 2019.
The Local Plan covers the Borough of Rossendale and provides the statutory planning framework to 2034. It contains an overall strategy for development and policies on the scale and distribution of development across the Borough. It allocated sites needed to accomodate new development and areas to be protected or enhanced. It set out policies on how planning applications will be determined.
A Programme Officer was appointed who is independent, and who works directly on behalf of the Inspector to organise administrative and procedural matters. This role was fufilled by Tony Blackburn and following the issuing of the Inspectors' Report his duties have ended.
