Stroud Core Strategy "Preferred Strategy" consultation
PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE "PREFERRED STRATEGY" STAGE OF STROUD DISTRICT’S CORE STRATEGY
Monday 6th February – Monday 19th March 2012
The six week public consultation on the Preferred Strategy for the growth and development of Stroud District up to 2026 is now open. The consultation seeks public views on:
- The overall strategy approach
- An overarching vision for how the District should evolve over the plan period
- A set of ‘mini visions’ for distinct parts of the District
- Proposed locations for housing and employment growth; and how the required housing numbers should be distributed between these locations
- An employment strategy
- Settlement classification: a ‘hierarchy’ for the District’s settlements
The Council would like the views of as many people as possible, to help it to refine and develop a ‘preferred strategy’ for the District.
There will be six drop-in exhibitions, targeted at the main development locations, where members of the public can look at the plans and ask questions. Times and locations are:
