Call for Sites Update 2025
Call for Sites Update 2025
We are currently updating our Call for Sites information to keep our evidence base current. This update allows interested parties to submit new sites or provide updated information about previously submitted sites. The Call for Sites update will open on Friday 30th May and close on Friday 25th July 2025.
Sites submitted previously in the 2022 or 2023 Call for Sites exercises or through the Local Plan process do not need to be resubmitted unless you wish to change the site area or proposed use or withdraw your site from further consideration. You can see the sites which have previously been submitted here.
This Call for Sites asks people to submit sites with potential for:
- Residential use (including market and affordable housing, self-build housing and specialist housing)
- Sites for Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling showpeople
- Commercial sites (such as retail, industry and offices)
- Broad locations for large scale mixed use development (such as urban extensions or new settlements)
- Infrastructure (such as health and community facilities)
Please note that submitting a site means it will be considered and assessed for its potential suitability for future development. This does not guarantee allocation for development in a Local Plan or that planning permission will be granted.
We will use the information received to inform technical documents that will be part of our development plan evidence base.
This Call for Sites is not part of the current Rutland Local Plan preparation process and will not be used in the forthcoming Local Plan Examination. It is part of early preparatory work for a new style development plan, which will be prepared following any changes to the Local Plan system proposed by the Government.
Submission Information
You will need to complete a separate form for each site that you wish to put forward for assessment.
Before you start, please note that the following information will be required:
- Contact details of landowner or person submitting on their behalf
- Site details (including size and location)
- Site map (plot this on the map in the online form, or provide a map showing the site boundary in context, at minimum 1:2500 scale, with North arrow and a red line indicating its full extent, or attach a shape file)
- Site information such as any relevant planning history, current land uses, any known constraints and environmental or heritage designations
- Details of proposed uses and capacity
- Site availability, achievability, market interest and ownership details
- Site delivery timeframes
Further guidance is included within the online form.
Once you have started a form, your progress will be saved automatically allowing you to complete it later. Any forms that have not been submitted can be accessed by going to 'My account' and selecting 'Drafts'.
You can view and print your completed site submissions by going to 'My account' and selecting the 'Unprocessed' tab. A print button is available for each form submission.
