Allocations and Designations Plan

The Allocations & Designations Plan will allocate sites to meet the Borough’s future development needs and designate areas of land where specific policies will apply. It has to conform to the approach set out in the Council’s Core Strategy & Rural Issues Plan, in particular the broad location for development and the core policies within it.

Preparation of the Allocations & Designations Plan began in September 2007 and will involve several stages as follows:

The timetable for the production of the Allocations & Designations Plan is set out in the Local Development Scheme.

In order to ensure that the Allocations & Designations Plan contributes to the aims of sustainable development, the Council is required to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal of its policies and proposals. The purpose of the Sustainability Appraisal is to promote sustainable development through the integration of environmental, social and economic considerations into the preparation of a DPD.
