The District Council is currently in the process of reviewing its Development Plan (made up of the Core Strategy and Allocations & Development Management Development Plan Documents). With the first stage of consultation (the Issues Paper) having been carried out in the Autumn of 2015.

We are now in a position to consult on the second stage of the process which starts with the consultation on our 'Preferred Approach to Strategy'. This document sets out our preferred approach to new development targets, based on the latest evidence, a refined spatial strategy (i.e. where future development should be located), new affordable housing policies and range of other minor changes to current planning policy.

This consultation has now closed.
