Final chance to have your say on preferred sites for development over next 20 years

The final chance for South Holland residents to have a say on preferred sites for development over the next 20 years is happening now.

A new Local Plan is being prepared for South East Lincolnshire (the areas of Boston Borough Council and South Holland District Council) to guide the development and use of land in the area.

A second public consultation is being held until Friday, August 12 via a series of ‘drop-in’ sessions (see below). Anyone is welcome to attend any of the venues shown below to talk about any town, village or site.

A South Holland District Council spokesman said: “This is the last chance you will have to comment on the prospective location of such development – if you commented on a specific site during the consultation on the draft Local Plan earlier this year there is no need to do so again as your views have since been considered in reaching the preferred sites stage.
“Responses to this consultation will be taken into account in finalising the publication version of the Local Plan.”

Anyone wanting to have a say but unable to attend any of the events, can do so:

• online at www.southeastlincslocalplan.org/consultation
• complete a comments form available to pick up from either councils’ offices or any of the area’s libraries
• write to South East Lincolnshire Local Plan, Municipal Buildings, West Street, Boston PE21 8QR
• email southeastlincslocalplan@sholland.gov.uk

The deadline for responses is 5pm on August 12.
