Core Strategy

Core Strategy - Inspector's Report (Reg 35)

The Core Strategy sets out the vision and strategic spatial objectives for the spatial development of the District.  The Core Strategy is a Development Plan Document and as such is part of the Development Plan for the District and is one of the documents that makes up Mid Suffolk's Local Development Framework (LDF).

Mid Suffolk's Core Strategy was submitted to Government in order for it to be 'Examined'. The Secretary of State appointed Mr Robert Yuille MSc DipTP MRTPI of the Planning Inspectorate to conduct the Examination, which opened on Thursday 29th May 2008 and ended 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 01449 724844 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.
