Local Plan
The council has produced a range of policies and technical advice notes to support the delivery of affordable homes.
The main document is the Local Plan which is produced by the council and sets out a framework for the area’s future development. It looks at our area’s needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities and infrastructure.
Until the council adopts a countywide Somerset Local Plan, existing Local Plans will remain in place for the individual geographical areas of the former district councils.
To find out which Local Plan by parish, see the map below.

Affordable Housing Guidance
