Core Strategy & Development Control Policies

SpeakerListen to the text on this page

Suffolk Coastal Local Development Framework logo

The Core Strategy and Development Control Policies document is one of the most important parts of the Local Development Framework (LDF) because it:

  • Sets out a vision for the district and the context for the rest of the LDF.

  • Identifies where growth is going to occur and where protection is essential.

  • Contains the policies that will be used in determining planning applications.

Core Strategy Preferred Options consultation

After a great deal of public consultation we are now at the stage where we can publish our preferred options for the future. The Core Strategy Preferred Options document sets out a vision for the district as it will be in 2025 and a series of objectives and policies to show how this vision will be achieved.

We are consulting on the Core Strategy Preferred Options document from 8 December 2008 until 20 February 2009, and we would like as many people as possible to give us their views and tell us what they think - you can make comments online or by post.

At the same time we are also consulting on the Site Specific Allocations Issues and Options document, which looks specifically at what additional land is required to meet the development needs set out in the Core Strategy and to identify individual sites to meet this need.

Find out more at our information roadshows

A series of information roadshows are being held across the district when you will be able to come along and find out more about the LDF. Planning officers will be available at drop-in sessions to discuss issues and answer your questions. Follow this link for a list of dates, times and venues.

What happens next?

Once all comments have been considered we will draw up our final Core Strategy - there will still be another chance for people to influence its contents when representations on the final document will be invited. This will be followed by a public hearing conducted by an independent planning inspector who will consider all the views we have received and will debate many of them in public. The inspector’s conclusions will be binding on the Council and this should be the end of the process, with the Core Strategy adopted by mid-2010.

If you have any queries or would like any further information about the document or the consultation process please contact the Planning Policy Team on 01394 444761 or email development.policy@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk.
