As part of these consultations the Council is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to provide engagement services and information to assist its officers in effective engagement and consultation on the plan and its associated documents.The Council’s current 2RLDP position commenced a full review of the Adopted LDP in February 2020 and published its Pre-Deposit plan for consultation in October/November 2022.
