Issues and Options
The Core Strategy is the main LDF
document that the Council produces. It provides a spatial
implementation of the Community Strategy ‘Stronger
Together’ and the Council’s own Corporate, Regeneration and
Cultural strategies. The Core Strategy provides general policies to
guide decisions about the future use of land. Planning applications
will be determined against these policies. These policies will
ensure, for example that development doesn’t harm protected
wildlife, it provides safe road access and is well designed.
The Core Strategy is a Development Plan Document ( DPD ), which means it forms the starting point for
determining any planning application, and it needs to be considered
by an independent Inspector before it is adopted.
First Consultation and Workshop
The first formal requirement in the creation of the Core
Strategy is the Issues and Options (Regulation 25) stage.
Consultation on the first stage took place between 21 July and
31 August 2006. Local stakeholders (Local Strategic Partnership,
Community Boards, residents associations) and statutory consultees
were consulted on a whole range of spatial development options
available to the Council. The comments we received fed into a
stakeholder workshop in January which helped to provide us with
clearer directions for the options available for the Borough.

Further Consultation
A Further Consultation took place between 6
March and 5 April 2007 on the main development options for the
Borough to build on the previous consultations. It asked for
your views about three options for distributing the proposed new
development for jobs, housing, shops and tourism facilities that
will be needed over the next 20 years. The Council then
considered these responses and consulted upon the "Preferred
Options" in Spring 2008.
