DISCUSS and respond to

 

Amber Valley’s Core Strategy Issues & Options document

which is currently out for consultation and, when adopted, will form the basis for future planning in the town and the borough as a whole

 

Rob Thorley, Principal  Planning Officer will introduce the document and take part in the discussion

“The Core Strategy will be the key document of our Local Development Framework (LDF) for Amber Valley. It will establish the vision, objectives and proposals for what sort of place we want Amber Valley to be by 2026. It will set out the main locations for new development and how this will be managed and will seek to address a range of issues facing Amber Valley. It will also set out the spatial policies to deliver the overall objectives and priorities of the Borough Council and its partners, as set out in the emerging Amber Valley Sustainable Community Strategy.

We have published a Draft Core Strategy Issues and Options consultation document to engage with partners, stakeholders and local residents before the preparation of a draft Core Strategy. The draft Core Strategy will be the subject of further consultation later this year”.
