Local Plan Policies Map Changes

Overview

Alongside the consultation on the Main Modifications to the Local Plan, the Council is also publishing proposed revisions to the Local Plan Policies Map.

The draft South Tyneside Local Plan 2023-2040 sets out the policies and allocations to meet the Borough’s development needs to 2040. The Policies Map Modifications (opens in new window) do not form part of the Main Modifications. They are being published alongside them and were limited to those needed to give effect to the Main Modifications.

Representations (comments) can be made until 11:59pm on Friday 24 April 2026.

Please do not use this form to raise new site proposals or to revisit objections to parts of the submitted Plan that are not proposed for modification.
