East Lindsey Local Plan Review (ELDC)
Latest Position: No progress since 2021 - A re-start is expected in 2025

Current Position: East Lindsey's current Local Plan was formally adopted at Full Council on 18th July 2018. At this time, the plan remains the current Local Plan for the area.
An Issues and Options consultation under Regulation 18 was carried out in 2021/22, which included a Call for Sites. Various background evidence documents have been updated too, but there appears to have been no further progress since 2022. A new review is expected soon - details will appear here.
Do you own land in East Lindsey? If so, here's what you need to do and what is expected next...
East Lindsey District Council have not yet decided how to respond to the new mandatory housing targets, but have confirmed that they do not currently have a 5 year supply of housing land. Because the last review has been on hold for several years, a new Call for Sites and Local Plan Review is therefore expected.
Our team have been busy meeting with clients, developers and landowners alike to discuss how to effectively promote their sites and to ensure they are ready. Perhaps most significant amongst the proposed changes are new mandatory housing targets and NPPF revisions that will provide better support for housebuilding in all areas, including potential amendments to Green Belt controls.
What do you need to do? Be ready! High-quality, effective and reliable planning representation is vital. Sites need to be promoted in the right way, and at the right time. The window of opportunity in each area is normally very short and strict, so preparation is key.
Fytche-Taylor's team have hands-on local authority experience having led Local Plan reviews and Call for Sites consultations and as a planning consultancy we hold an excellent track record in securing site allocations for our clients. We know what to present and how to maximise the potential of your site so that it stands out as a credible and deliverable development site.
