The Core Strategy is part of the Local Development Framework that will guide future development in the borough. Residents, community groups and businesses have a key role in the formation of the Core Strategy.
The first stage of consultation on the Core Strategy, the issues and options, was carried out between May and September 2007. The council consulted local people on a wide range of issues and options about what they would like to see in the borough in the future.
The Preferred Strategy is the next stage in the process of developing a Core Strategy and we are now seeking your views.
The Core Strategy covers the entire borough containing a number of objectives that include:
regenerating our town centres as the heart of our communities, retaining more local spend in our economy, and improving local service provision
providing an environment conducive to new business with opportunities for socialising in an attractive environment to help stimulate new economic investment
providing a variety of housing including affordable housing, aspirational family homes, and high quality provision for the elderly
improving the appearance of the borough and the quality of life for our residents through regeneration, high quality of design and the promotion of local character
reducing carbon emissions, pollution and managing flood risk
promoting more sustainable and active travel modes to reduce emissions and to encourage healthier lifestyles
ensuring that the provision of community facilities such as schools and local shops are seen as a positive reason for living in the borough; and
promoting and improving our green spaces and heritage assets.
