Winner - Bassetlaw Local Plan 2020-2038 Bassetlaw District Council
The Bassetlaw Local Plan is an ambitious, pro growth plan seeking to deliver a step change in the district by 2038. 
The Bassetlaw Local Plan is pro growth, based on an ambition to deliver a step change in the economy, aligning housing growth to secure better outcomes for local residents. It contains a suite of policies promoting growth for the economy, housing delivery, affordable housing, infrastructure delivery and more. Policies are being implemented and delivered now, whilst utilising additional technical guidance. The success of the plan relied on partnerships, confidence and a shared vision of planning professionals, members, and consultants to secure significant economic and housing growth in a district context, offering a template for other local authorities to follow.
"Bassetlaw has taken a focused and strongly evidence-based approach to the preparation of its Local Plan. There is evidence of a cohesive and creative team and close liaison between officers and members, coupled with extensive - and sometimes innovative - community consultation. The Council clearly have demonstrated the role of Planners within their authority and projects. They have reflected the aspirations of the authority and have demonstrated how they have faced challenges".
