Planning tomorrow today
The Core Strategy is the primary document in the Local Development Framework (LDF), the authority's suite of planning documents. This options document is a stepping stone in the preparation of the Core Strategy. It sets out a number of alternative policy options for further discussion with the local community and other stakeholders.
Once adopted in late 2011, the Core Strategy will replace the Local Plan and become the main planning document for B&NES. It will set out the long term spatial vision for Bath & North East Somerset up to 2026 and the broad locations for new housing, jobs and other strategic developments. It will also focus on the delivery of policy objectives and any infrastructure requirements. The Core Strategy will provide the policy context for other development plan documents (DPDs) in the LDF.
The purpose of this Options document is to invite discussion. It suggests Visions, Objectives and alternative options for the future development needed to meet the economic and community needs of the district. The Core Strategy will only look at the broad policies needed to solve the key issues faced by the district. More detailed policy solutions will be set out in the other Development Plan and supplementary documents.
This consultation has now closed and is awaiting the results anaylsis.
