The Core
Strategy sets out the vision, objectives and spatial
strategy for the district. In its final form, it will identify
sufficient housing to meet the requirements to 2021, including
broad locations (not specific sites) as well as the strategic
approach to other key subjects such as the economy, the
environment and community well-being.
It will contain a suit of policies to be used in the
determination of planning applications. These will ensure that all
new development in the district contributes to achieving the
strategic objectives.
The Council has ensured the work of the
Suffolk Coastal
Local Strategic Partnership (new window), and the development
of the Local Development Framework are closely integrated, as these
are both important factors shaping the future of the district.

Development Framework which includes published and newly
commissioned studies, agendas and minutes of Council task group
meetings, summaries of workshops and annual monitoring
reports.
