Local Development Framework
Issues and options papers
The Local Development Framework will cover a wide range of issues including housing, the character of your neighbourhood, access and movement, health, education, employment, crime prevention, urban design, the environment and parks. The Local Development Framework will also allocate land for development.

We consulted with the community on the Issues and Options Papers between 21 November 2005 and 20 January 2006.
The comments received from the community and interested stakeholders have been used to guide our ongoing preparation of the Local Development Framework, particularly the Core Strategy and Borough Wide Development Policies.
We have also made a Consultation Report on the Issues and Options consultation PDF 1.43M.
