The plan, which will replace the out-of-date 2005 framework, sets out where new housing and employment areas should be built over the next 15 years.
Inspectors have now released their final report, confirming the plan is sound and legally compliant with some recommended changes.
John Evans, councillor responsible for planning, said "This is a very positive moment for Uttlesford.
"The inspectors’ conclusions confirm that the plan is robust, deliverable and shaped by extensive engagement with our communities.
"A great deal of work, detail and evidence gathering has gone into reaching this stage.
"I want to thank the officers and members who have worked tirelessly throughout this process.
"Their commitment has been vital in helping us secure a well-planned, sustainable future for the district.”
The new Local Plan provides a framework for managing development, protecting the environment and ensuring the right infrastructure is provided in the right places.
