5 Year Review Report now published

The Joint Local Plan (JLP) was adopted on 26 March 2019 and is five years old as of March 2024.

There is a national policy requirement that a local planning authority must complete a review of their Local Plan at least every five years of their plan period. The purpose of the five-year review of JLP is to ensure that a plan and its policies, that set the strategic context for development to 2034, remain effective and establish whether evidence suggests the plan may need updating.

The constituent Councils of the JLP have now carried out an assessment of the JLP, in accordance with national policy, guidance and legislation. The outcome of this assessment is set out in The Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan Five Year Review Report 2024.
