History
The Core Strategy Submission Document December 2009 was submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 2nd December 2009 for an
Examination in Public by a Planning Inspector. The inspector's report has
been published and the Core Strategy has been found sound.
Public consultation on the Core Strategy Submission Document, September 2009 took place from 18th September for 6 weeks until 30th October.
Informal public consultation on an emerging preferred strategy took place between 15th August and 3rd October 2008. Because there has been a change in the statutory regulations for producing LDF documents, this replaced the Preferred Options consultation programmed in the Local Development Scheme.
Public consultation on the Issues and Options for the Core Strategy finished on the 30th November 2007. You can download the results of the consultation.
