The Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan has been approved by councillors for submission to the Secretary of State, marking the next step in shaping the region’s long-term housing and economic growth.
The document outlines how thousands of new homes will be delivered over the next 16 years, alongside land allocations for offices, industrial use, and warehousing. It identifies large development sites exceeding 500 homes or five hectares and sets out policies to ensure infrastructure keeps pace with expansion.
Prepared jointly by Broxtowe and Rushcliffe borough councils, the plan replaces earlier collaborative work that had included Gedling Borough Council, which withdrew earlier this year. Its purpose is to provide a clear framework for housing and commercial development while limiting unplanned or speculative proposals.
The plan follows several rounds of consultation on previous drafts in 2024 and 2025, with feedback from statutory bodies, developers, community organisations, and residents. The final version reflects updated housing figures and partnership arrangements and will now undergo public examination before government approval.
