The Consultation on the Site Allocations
Issues and Options Finished on 31 January
2012.
The Site Allocations document is the next stage in the Local
Development Framework process. It will complement the Core Strategy and become the document that
designates land for new development across the District. The
settlements listed below have been identified in the Core Strategy
as areas that could see some new housing development, although no
decisions have been made about the precise location, scale, amount
or type of such housing.
The first major stage of consultation is the ‘Issues and Options
Document’. This document sets out the options for potential
development sites, drawing on the results of previous consultations
(see below). The document will set out options for growth, such as
new housing, employment, and opportunity sites, along with any
issues relating to that new growth. The Issues and Options document
will be out for consultation from 7 November 2011 to 31 January
2012.
The council will be holding a number of public
consultation events throughout November and December where the Site
Allocations will be on display and a planning policy officer will
be present to discuss the document.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact the Planning Policy
team.
You may also wish to talk directly to your Parish Council or
local District Councillor.
