South East Lincolnshire Local Plan

Each local planning authority is required to produce a Local Plan for its area which sets out policies for the development and use of land. In 2011, the South East Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Planning Committee Order came into force (2011 No.1455) which established a Joint Strategic Planning Committee for the areas of Boston Borough and South Holland District (known collectively as South East Lin

colnshire). The constituent authorities are Lincolnshire County Council, Boston Borough Council and South Holland District Council. The purpose of the Joint Committee is to exercise the functions of a local planning authority in relation to:
- the preparation, submission, adoption, monitoring and revision of joint local development documents identifited in a joint local development scheme; and
- the preparation, submission, adoption, monitoring and revision of a joint local development scheme, in respect of those documents. In light of the above, a joint Local Plan for South East Lincolnshire (Boston Borough and South Holland District) is being produced and will cover the period 2011- 2036. The Local Plan will attempt to give an effective spatial expression to the vision and aspirations of South East Lincolnshire's local communities and to those elements of the relevant strategies and programmes which relate to the development and use of land in the area.
