• Consultation on the Initial Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating a Strategic Environmental Assessment) following consultation on the draft Options for the MDD DPD - August to October 2011

• Draft Options for the Managing Development Delivery DPD 

We undertook a 6 week statutory consultation from 15 June to midnight on 27 July 2011. The MDD DPD will be the borough’s second development plan document and will provide a greater level of detail about how the vision in the borough’s adopted Core Strategy will be delivered in practice. Before the MDD DPD is produced the Council needs to consider and consult on options and alternatives to help develop the document.

We sought views on a range of issues including:

• Development management policies on areas such as character and heritage and sustainable development;
• The setting of settlement boundaries (development limits) around the borough's settlements and town and village centres.
• The criteria that should be applied when selecting housing sites, outside of Strategic Development Locations, to meet the borough's housing requirement until 2026.

   

• Strategic Development Location Supplementary Planning Documents

  Following the resolution of the Council’s Executive on 2 June 2011, the statutory consultation period for the 5 SDL SPDs was 15 June to midnight on 27 July 2011.

• Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document - consultation 21 December 2010 -  31 January 2011.
