Whilst the existing local plan is set to remain in effect until 2030, the council is committed to early engagement to ensure the people of Gateshead's voices are heard in shaping the borough to meet future needs. The Start of the Conversation - Gateshead Local Plan is seeking views from the people of Gateshead for their ideas and options. This is the first stage of designing a new Local Plan for Gateshead.

· Modernising our economy and centres
· Meeting our housing needs
· Connecting homes and places
The Gateshead Local Plan will set a new course for the future, addressing changing national policies and legislation, whilst aligning with the council's key strategies. It will outline how and where future development could occur, areas for protection and planning policies to achieve this vision. The plan is one of the council's main strategies to help make Gateshead a place where everyone thrives.
