RESIDENTS will be asked to have their say over Tendring Council’s controversial Local Plan.
The plan will guide development in the district, including where to build as many as 10,000 new homes, until 2032.
Tendring Council said it will be holding a six-week consultation into the important issues and options document from September 1.
Council leader Neil Stock, who is also cabinet member for planning, said: “We are very well aware that there are some very strong views about the new Local Plan and we are all keen to see one in place as soon as possible.
“I would urge all those who have an opinion to make it known – either through one of the exhibitions or through the other channels available.”
The council’s previous Local Plan ran out in 2012, leaving the district open to speculative applications from developers.
The issues and options consultation paper will be available to view at the public exhibitions, libraries and at Weeley Council Offices and Clacton Town Hall. An exhibition will also take place at the Park Pavilion, in Barrack Lane, Dovercourt, on Monday, September 14 from 3pm until 7.30pm.
