CORE STRATEGY
The Council is now preparing the latest version of the Core Strategy. It is not expected that the general approach will change greatly from previous versions of the document, but there is the opportunity to refine, update and improve the content of the Core Strategy.
The timetable for the publication of the Core Strategy is:
Proposed Submission – consultation to take place for six weeks in September/October 2010
Submission – consultation to take place for six weeks in January/February 2011
Pre-Hearing Meeting – May 2011
Examination – July/August 2011
Receipt of the Inspector’s binding report – November 2011
Adoption and publication – December 2011
The Council will now not be producing a dedicated Minerals & Waste Development Plan Document (DPD); instead it will include policies on these matters within the Core Strategy and, where relevant, other DPDs.
