Composite Plans
These documents consist of our Core Strategy (2014), Placemaking Plan (2017) and Local Plan Partial Update (2023). For ease of use, we have combined the policies into a single set of documents (Composite Plans). We will use these core documents, together with other policies in the Development Plan, as the basis for planning decisions in Bath and North East Somerset.
These Composite Plans include the newly incorporated Local Plan Partial Update, adopted on 19 January 2023. Please replace any previous versions of our Development Plan with these documents.
