Councillor Bob Cook, Leader of Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, said: “I would urge people to get involved in the consultation because when adopted, the Local Plan will be the starting point for consideration of planning applications for the development of land.
“We want to have a Local Plan in place to put us in a strong position to manage future development, deliver our priorities for the Borough and make Stockton-on-Tees a great place to live and work.”
