Overview of the planning process
The emerging proposals are at an early stage in the planning process, with an outline application now being prepared. Feedback from this consultation will help to shape the emerging outline plans prior to the outline planning application being submitted.
An outline planning application establishes the broad principles of development, such as access arrangements, illustrative concept layout, number of homes and general extent of development.
When an outline planning application is submitted to the local planning authority (in this case Stafford Borough Council) it is then subject to a formal consultation called a Statutory Consultation. This includes consultation with a range of statutory consultees such as the local NHS Integrated Care Board, the local education authority, the lead local flood authority, Natural England, local and national highways authorities, local town and parish councils, and many others, as well as the wider community.
If outline planning consent is granted, detailed planning applications called Reserved Matters planning applications would be prepared for each phase of the development as they come forward. These planning applications would include more detail such as architecture, materials, detailed layout and landscaping, and would be subject to further consultation with the local community before being submitted for determination. As with an outline planning application, Reserved Matters applications are also subject to Statutory Consultation.
Overall, the process can take a number of years between an outline planning application being submitted and development on first phases commencing. An estimate for when work might begin is 2027 at the earliest.
