On 27 February 2025 Councillors met to vote again on letting the current draft of the Local Plan proceed to examination. Councillors voted 27 to 23 AGAINST the plan, rejecting the blueprint for future development.
On 4 March 2025 the Council announced that the Minister of State for Housing and Planning had intervened, issuing a notice directing that South Tyneside Council must submit the existing draft Local Plan for examination in public by 12 March 2025.
The announcement is available on the Council’s website.
The letter from the Minister to the Leader of the Council is also available here.
