Planning & Lobbying
The Mansfield Local Plan Review
Why it Matters!
Mansfield District Council has launched the Local Plan Review, which will guide how our area grows and develops over the next 20 years — deciding where new homes, jobs, and green spaces will be located.
Worryingly, several cherished green spaces in Mansfield Woodhouse have been earmarked for large-scale housing developments. This could permanently alter the character of our community, put increasing pressure on already struggling infrastructure, and have devastating consequences on local wildlife.
Now is our opportunity to speak up and influence these critical decisions.
