RUGBY’S housing blueprint for the next 15 years will be delayed because Rugby Borough Council has still not received evidence from Warwickshire County Council to support their recommendations for transport improvements.
The two month delay will allow the borough council to consider the government’s recent White Paper on housing, and give officers more time to consider public feedback.
The revised timetable means councillors will decide whether to submit the Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate on May 25.
The draft Local Plan is due to be submitted for public examination in mid-June.
February 2018 is now the target date to adopt the Rugby Local Plan.
