Core strategy

Our core strategy sets out the key elements of our vision for the borough and is a central part of our Local Development Framework (LDF).

The information below provides further details about our core strategy, including when it was adopted and how it was prepared.

What is our core strategy and when was it adopted?

Our core strategy helps us to define and plan for the future of the borough by:

• contributing to achieving the vision and objectives of our community strategy
• helping our partners and other organisations deliver relevant parts of their programmes
• covering the physical aspects of location and land use
• addressing factors that make places attractive, sustainable and successful (such as social and economic matters)
• balancing the needs of residents, businesses and future generations

Our core strategy was adopted at a Full Council meeting on 8 November 2010:

How was our core strategy prepared?

It took almost three years to prepare our core strategy and development policies. The information within this section will help you understand the various activities involved in the preparation of these documents (from gathering background information and consulting with the public to having the documents formally adopted), as well as providing links to related reports and proposals.
