Core Strategy News -
Core Strategy - Mr Robert Yuille MSc DipTP MRTPI of the
Planning Inspectorate conducted the Core Strategy Examination,
which opened on Thursday 29th May 2008 and closed on Wednesday
11th June 2008.
In accordance with guidance from the Government Office for the East
of England (Go-East) and the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) an LDF
document, in this case the Core Strategy, is currently a material
consideration and the strength of that consideration increases the
closer it gets to adoption. Local Authorities,
however, must consider Planning Applications in line with the
adopted documentation at the time of the decision.
A DPD becomes effective for planning decisions from the
date of issue of the Inspector's Report
as it is a legally binding document. Mid Suffolk expects to receive
the Inspector’s Report in August 2008 (contact Planning Policy
for latest information). The Inspector's report will be uploaded
onto this web page immediately and the recommendations will then be
incorporated into the Core Strategy. |

Planning Portal guide to Local Development Frameworks.
