Current adopted development plan

Core Strategy

The Core Strategy sets out the vision, spatial strategy and strategic planning policies which have been used to shape development in the borough since its adoption in July 2011. The 15 year plan period of the Core Strategy comes to an end in July 2026.

Updates 

As the government has withdrawn the Code for Sustainable Homes and removed consideration for energy requirements from national policy and guidance, no weight can be given to matters set out in the first paragraph of Core Strategy Policy CS27 'Sustainable Buildings'. There is also no longer a need to complete a Climate Neutral Checklist. 

See development contributions: affordable housing for updated information regarding Core Strategy Policy CS21: Affordable Housing. 

Policies map 

The planning policy map shows how the policies set out in the Core Strategy are applied spatially.
