Issues and options consultation (April to June 2023)
From 28 April to 30 June 2023, the council consulted on a Regulation 18 Issues and Options document.
The intention of the issues and options consultation was to gather views from a range of stakeholders to inform the development of the new Local Plan.
In terms of document structure, the Issues and Options document sets out the current policy approach across a range of topics; notes relevant changes since the adoption of the Local Plan; and sets out how the new Local Plan could respond to these changes.
The council has considered representations received in previous rounds of consultation and set out how these responses have informed the Direction of Travel document in the consultation statement (PDF - 2.07 MB).
