Local Plan Scoping Consultation

Please note the Local Plan Scoping Consultation has now closed

The new Local Plan will help shape the future of Amber Valley for many years to come. We want local communities, businesses, landowners, developers and other stakeholders to play an active role in its preparation.

We carried out a scoping consultation between 15 July 2026 and 19 August 2026, which has now closed.

The purpose of this consultation was to invite representations on what the Local Plan should contain and establish how the Borough Council should engage with its communities, consultation bodies and other stakeholders. This will help to inform the Council’s Community Engagement Strategy and ensure everyone’s views are taken into account.

The Borough Council produced a scoping document to assist the consultation, this document is available to view below along with the Notice of Scoping Consultation.

Our Local Plan Timetable which outlines the key stages in preparing the new Local Plan can be viewed at the following link Local Plan Timetable and outlines the next stages of preparation of the Local Plan.

You can sign up to our mailing list to receive updates on the Local Plan, hear about opportunities to get involved, and be notified when public consultations take place.
