There will be further opportunities to comment later in the year with the publication of the "Proposed Submission" draft document. Following subsequent submission to the Secretary of State it is anticipated that the Core Strategy will be adopted by the end of 2011.

Background

• The Core Strategy sets out the key elements of the planning framework for the area

• It should contain:
  • a spatial vision and strategic objectives for the area
  • a spatial strategy
  • core policies
  • a monitoring and implementation framework with clear objectives for achieving delivery
• It must be kept up-to-date
• Once adopted, all other Development Plan Documents must be in conformity with it
• It plays a key part in the delivery of Nottingham's Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS)
• It should express those parts of the SCS that relate to the development and use of land
• It should also outline the City Council's strategy for delivering strategic development needs, including housing, leisure and retail

Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies
