What the buyer says
Erewash Borough Council (EBC) have now started work on a new Local Plan, which will be produced in conformity with the provisions of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (Aug 2026). The Planning Policy team is currently embarking on developing an appropriate evidence base to ensure that a new Local Plan is able to be finalised and approved over the next 2.5 years, in line with Government expectations that councils can produce a Local Plan within 30 months, once Gateway 1 is passed which is timetabled to occur towards the end of October 2026. EBC are now seeking a suitably skilled contractor to manage the production of a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) and Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) helping the Council to understand the types of homes it must provide as part of the overall 6,800 new home requirement the Borough is expected to deliver by 2040, whilst also making suitable space for Gypsy & Travellers accommodation needs - with the conclusions playing a key role in the production of related policies in the new Local Plan.
