The Local Plan sets out our approach to accommodating growth across Epsom and Ewell, the sites we are proposing, and the policies that will guide our decisions on development and regeneration in the borough.
Once adopted, the Epsom and Ewell Local Plan (2022-2040) will play an important role in shaping Epsom and Ewell's future including how the borough will develop, protecting and enhancing our natural environment, developing our local economy, improving leisure and visitor facilities, and supporting more sustainable forms of travel.

You can also view webinars on the consultation website aimed at helping you with your response, and we will hold bookable drop in sessions to offer in person support. More details on these sessions will be announced on our website, on social media and on posters on council noticeboards across the borough.
Next steps
After the consultation closes, we will prepare for the submission of the Local Plan documents and representations received for the public examination. View our Local Development Scheme which includes the timetable for preparing Epsom and Ewell’s Local Plan.
