Core Strategy
Contact
The Core Strategy Development Plan Document will set out our spatial strategy to help us guide and manage future development in the Borough in the most sustainable way. It is one of the first documents that will be produced as part of preparing the Local Development Framework. Before the Core Strategy can be adopted by the Council it will be subject to a number of stages of preparation.
Details of previous consultations are provided in the Core Strategy Archive.
Core Strategy Further Consultation - October 2008
In October 2008 the Council published a Core Strategy Further Consultation document. The public meetings and exhibitions held during the consultation period were very well attended and we had the opportunity to talk to over 1,500 people. The Council received representations from over 1,500 individuals, organisations and groups.
Report of Consultation - December 2009
The Report of Consultation setting out the results of the consultation process is available to download below. Please note that the Council continues to recieve comments on the Core Strategy Further Consultation and therefore these are live documents that may change:

The consultation document, sustainability appraisal and other supporting information are available to view on the Core Strategy Further Consultation page.
Next Steps
The next stage will be to prepare a Proposed Submission Core Strategy document. This will be published for at least six weeks public consultation before being submitted to the Secretary of State for examination.
Work to prepare the Charnwood Core Strategy has been ongoing during 2009 and a submission draft of the plan was to be published for consultation in March. However, there are still questions around alternative directions for growth and further evidence is required before a decision can be taken on the final submission version of the plan. It is unlikely that this decision will be made until June 2010.
Since the consultation in 2008, further more detailed information has been gathered on the transport implications. The results of further transport work are available to view on the Transport Assessment page.
