The Core Strategy Examination Hearings finished on the 18th January. The Council wishes to extend its thanks to all parties involved. The Planning Inspector, Mr Philip Goodman will now determine whether the Core Strategy (and Development Control) policies are 'sound' and it is hoped that his binding report will be published in June. If the document is found to be 'sound', it will form the basis of planning decisions in the district until 2021. Details of how and when the new policies will come into force (if the Core Strategy is found sound) will be widely advertised.
