Wealden District Council is preparing a new Local Plan. The new Local Plan will be the key planning document for the district, excluding the area covered by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA). The South Downs National Park has planning powers for its own area.
Following earlier consultation stages in 2020/2021, 2024 and 2026, we are now inviting representations on the Council’s final version of the Local Plan. The period to submit representations will run from Monday 21 September to Monday 2 November 2026 at 5pm.
Please note, all representations must be received by 5pm on Monday 2nd November, we cannot accept late submissions. It is your responsibility to ensure that they are received by the deadline.
