Chester-le-Street Local Plan


The Chester-le-Street Local Plan (adopted in October 2003) sets out the development strategy for the former district and the land-use policies and allocations required to deliver this strategy.

The Local Plan is a key component of the Development Plan for the former district of Chester-le-Street and is therefore a 'material consideration' when determining planning applications. The Chester-le-Street Local Plan is available to download.

As of September 2007, if you are looking at any of the district local plans you will also need to look at the saved policies list to determine which policies remain valid, as not all policies have been saved and the text of the plans has not been updated.

For more details, please contact us.
