'Preferred options' is a term usually encountered in government and local authority consultation documents describing the outcomes the authority is proposing in a certain arena of its activities, e.g land designated for housing. A number of options are typically set out that are subsequently put out to public consultation. The aim is to stimulate debate on issues of strategic importance which are likely to influence a council’s local development plans.

At local level, preferred options documents are regarded as key stages in the preparation of local plans, setting out a council’s preferred spatial and policy approaches for the local plan in preparation. A local plan is defined by the National Planning Policy Framework as “The plan for the future development of the local area, drawn up by the local planning authority in consultation with the community.

A local plan 'preferred options consultation' document may set out the council's preferred options for bringing about sustainable development within a specific time period. Or, it may set out its preferred policy approach that will help shape its policies for determining planning applications as part of the new local plan, as well as setting out preferred options for new development within its boundaries. This may include preferred sites for new housing, employment, leisure and greenspace over a set, long-term period, possibly 20 years or more.

Prepared options for a new local plan will be published – usually hard copy and web-based – for public consultation over a specified time-frame – which may typically be for a minimum six-week period. The public are usually invited to make comments on the local plan and alerted to the restricted time frame for doing so. The documents are posted online, with hard copies normally made available in libraries and at council offices. When the consultation period is over, the responses from the general public and possibly other stakeholders – e.g developers and local employers – are considered before final decisions are put into the local plan.
