MKCC’s Draft MK City Plan 2050 Now Live
MKCC has published its draft Local Plan – the ‘MK City Plan 2050’.
In a delegated decision made on 25 June, MKCC leader, Cllr Pete Marland approved the draft document for a 12 week consultation period over the rest of the summer. A couple of weeks earlier, MKCC’s Planning Cabinet Advisory Group had received a presentation from officers on the proposed major housing site allocations and employment land strategy.
Needless to say, both documents make for interesting reading for every community, town and parish council in MKCC’s area, as much for what is not said as well as what has been proposed.

​
Finally, the Government is gradually consulting on the secondary legislation to implement the Levelling Up & Regeneration Act 2023.
