Issues and Scope Consultation
This consultation on Issues and Scope is the first formal stage of preparing our Local Plan.
At this stage, we are looking for your views on whether we have identified the right issues facing our Plan and the scope of what the review should cover. We are also seeking your views on individual topics and some of the key issues the Plan will need to address.
This document sets out a summary on a wide range of issues and contains several questions that we would like your views on, but this is not the definitive list, and we would welcome your views on any other topics you feel we may have missed.
