In order to demonstrate conformity between LDF documents the
Council decided to review and alter certain sections of Mid
Suffolk’s adopted Core Strategy (2008) with updated information
that has become available following the Core Strategy’s
adoption.
The Council has reviewed its Housing Policy CS8, the Employment
chapter in the adopted Core Strategy (2008), and has also taken the
opportunity to provide an approach to sustainable
development.
A first period of consultation (under Regulation 25 of the Town
and Country Planning, Local Development, England, Regulations) was
held from 31 October to 9 December 2011. Responses to this
consultation have been considered by the Council and where these
were relevant, incorporated within the proposed submission document
we are now publicising.
The ‘proposed submission’ publication (under Regulation 27 of
the Town and Country Planning, Local Development, England,
Regulations) is what the Council believes should be the final
document submitted to the Secretary of State. This proposed
submission publication period begins on 11 January 2012 and ends at
5pm on 22 February 2012, and enables representations to be made, in
particular whether the document complies with legal requirements
and is “sound”. The Council will then review the
representations and consider what, if any, changes should be put
forward when the Council submits the draft document to the
Secretary of State in March 2012.
The following documents must also be considered and any
comments can be made as per the details below:
