Evidence Base

National planning policy requires local plan policies to be underpinned by robust, relevant and up to date evidence to support and justify policies at a local level. We have undertaken a number of studies covering a range of topic areas and we have referred to these, as relevant, in the Draft MK City Plan 2050.
