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.
