Local Plan Call for Sites

Submit land for consideration as the Council develops its new Local Plan

Introduction

information

The window for submitting sites to the Call for Sites has now closed. We are now assessing submitted sites and will publish the results of these assessments as part of a Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) Report later this year.

The Somerset Local Plan Call for Sites ran for 6 weeks from 13 January 2025 to 24 February 2025.

During this time, landowners, developers, and site promoters were invited to submit land they want to develop to the Council. This process is crucial for gathering information to help create the new Somerset Local Plan, following national policy and guidance.

Further information

The Submission Guidance, below, explains more about the process and submission information requirements. The guidance also includes a full list of the questions asked in the submission survey.

The submission of a site is not a planning application and does not grant planning permission or any other status.
