Emerging Local Plan for Derby (LPD)

On 12 November 2025, the Council’s Cabinet authorised officers to undertake a consultation on the draft Local Plan for Derby. Details of the consultation will be published in advance of the consultation beginning in January 2026.   Once adopted it will replace the current Local Plan but until the new plan is adopted, decisions on proposals will still be made using the policies of the adopted local plan:

• Derby City Local Plan Part 1 - 2017
• City of Derby Local Plan Review (2006)

All information about the new emerging plan can be found on the Let’s Talk Derby page.
