Development Management - Housing and Commercial Policies and Sites DPD

Background
Work on the Development Management – Housing and Commercial Policies and Sites Development Plan Document (DPD) started in May 2007. This new DPD will contain detailed policies, which guide the management and delivery of future housing, retail and employment development in the Borough and will also identify specific sites for these uses.
Issues and Options
Consultation on the Issues & Options document took place in February and March 2008.
The Issues & Options stage was one of the first stages in preparing more detailed policies. The consultation was structured around a number of key issues relating to housing, retail and employment development and suggested some different options for delivering them.
The Council is now reviewing responses received and is using these to help inform the next stage. Verbatim and summarised responses will be published shortly. Thank you for contributing to this consultation.
Public Participation
The next stage in the process is now called Public Participation following changes in legislation in 2008. This will include the Council's Preferred Options.
