Notice Description

Uttlesford District Council is seeking to appoint a consultant(s) to undertake work to identify the economic profile of Uttlesford, future employment growth needs and how those needs should be met. The Council is at the project initiation stage of preparing a new Local Plan, following the withdrawal of its 2019 Submission Local Plan from Examination. The new Local Plan will be a comprehensive Development Plan Document (DPD), containing both strategic and non-strategic policies for development over at least the next 15 years. This work forms part of the Councils' plan making process.
