Town Centre and Business Zones Plan - A plan covering existing and new business zones of Uppingham and the town centre. The UTC&BZ Plan was prepared to complement the town's original Neighbourhood Plan. The Plan proposes a new joint blue light initiative, additional housing and the creation of an Uppingham Virtual High Street. See the plan at www.uppinghamneighbourhoodplan.info

 

Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan (First Edition) - The Plan passed successfully through its referendum on July 10th 2014. After a long legal action reaching all the way to the Supreme Court the plan was made by Rutland County Council on January 11th 2016. Read the Plan at www.uppinghamneighbourhoodplan.info 

 

Updating the Neighbourhood and Local Plans - The updated Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan is now with the External Examiner before being submitted to a public ballot in 2024. Rutland County Council has now completed public consultation on its draft Local Plan. See the CPRE  response above following consultation with local parishes.
