Draft Submission North Warwickshire Local Plan Consultation (Regulation 19)
 

The Borough Council has agreed its submission version of the Local Plan.  Prior to submitting the document to Government there is one final consultation period.  This consultation period will run until 31st January 2018. Please ensure any comments are submitted by this date as any comments received after this date will not be considered.

 

The Local Plan when adopted will replace the Core Strategy 2014 and the saved policies of the Local Plan 2006.

 

A Sustainability Appraisal of the document has also been prepared for consultation which evaluates how social, environmental and economic issues have been taken into account in the preparation of the plan.

 

At this stage you can make comments on the “soundness” of the plan – to be sound a Local Plan should be:

 

1. Positively prepared which means that the document must
Seek to meet local needs for a range of uses including housing and businesses, which have      been identified through the studies which make up the evidence base

 

2. Justified means that document must be
Founded on a robust and credible evidence base
The most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives

 

3. Effective means that the plan must be
Deliverable
Flexible
Able to be monitored

 

4. Consistent with National Policy the plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the Framework

 

We will be holding a range of Drop in Sessions at various places throughout the Borough where the Forward Planning Team will be able to answer any questions/queries you may have.
