1. Publication Core Strategy
The event is not currently available for consultation.
Wyre Forest District has produced a Pre-Submission Publication Core Strategy on which representations are invited for a period of six weeks commencing on Thursday 7th January 2010. The closing date for representations is 5.30pm on Thursday 18th February 2010. Representations made after this time will not be accepted.
The Council is intending to submit the Core Strategy to the Secretary of State for Independent Examination in early April 2010. Prior to this, the Core Strategy is now published to enable representations to be made based on the document’s soundness. (Further information on the Tests of Soundness is available from the representation guidance notes which are attached under the 'Supporting Documents' tab below) This pre-submission publication period will enable the Council to determine whether any changes need to be made before the document is submitted for examination by a Planning Inspector. All representations received at this stage will be submitted alongside the Core Strategy for the Inspector’s consideration.
The publication version of the Core Strategy is based on a comprehensive frontloading process and a series of consultation stages in accordance with the Council’s Adopted Statement of Community Involvement. The Core Strategy has also been informed by a comprehensive Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process. The final SA report can also be viewed under the 'Supporting Documents' tab below.
A robust evidence base has been produced to inform the background to policy making. Details on the evidence base can be found on the Council's main website via the following link http://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk
The remaining key milestones in the production of the Core Strategy are:
Submission for Independent Examination - April 2010
Hearing Sessions - Summer 2010
Inspector’s Report Received - November 2010
Adoption of Core Strategy - December 2010
