Our dedicated consultation website will be the quickest and easiest way for you to respond.
The Local Plan is available to read on our consultation website. Hard copies are also available to view at South Shields Town Hall and Jarrow Town Hall receptions. For full documentation, see Local Plan documents, assessments and evidence.
Alternatively, if you prefer you can also:
- email local.plan@southtyneside.gov.uk
- post your comments to Spatial Planning, Development Services, Regeneration and Environment, South Tyneside Council, Town Hall and Civic Offices, Westoe Road, South Shields, Tyne & Wear, NE33 2RL
- attend an information session and fill out a postcard
For your comments on the Local Plan to count they must:
- be made in writing
- be received by us within the timeframe of the consultation period
- contain your name, address and if possible your email address
If you're part of a group of people who share a common view, it would be helpful if your group submits a single representation and include within this a list of names and addresses of everyone it represents.
