A ‘call for sites’ has been issued by Bassetlaw District Council to help identify potential development plots in the future.
Submissions can be for a range of new development including for all types of housing, businesses, renewable energy or nature recovery, community facilities and open space.
The appeal will not affect or replace the council’s adopted Local Plan, which already sets out where housing and other developments are allowed to be built, and which areas should be protected in the district over the next 13 years.
Cllr Steve Scotthorne, Cabinet Member for Identity, Planning and Place said: “The Call for Sites is a valuable tool to ensure that all possible sites across the district are assessed for their potential for development.
“Anyone can suggest a site to us, and I would encourage everyone to get involved.”
The Council will include all submitted sites in the Land Availability Assessment and will assess if they are suitable for development.
The Call for Sites and site assessment process does not indicate that planning permission will be granted or suggest that sites are suitable for allocating in any future Local Plan.
The 12-week engagement runs from June 12 to 4th September 4, 2025, using the Council’s new digital platform for which we have received Government funding https://cfs.bassetlaw.urbanintelligence.co.uk/, through the Council’s website https://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/call-for-sites/ or email planningpolicy@bassetlaw.gov.uk.
