Consultation on supporting reports

We asked for feedback on some draft reports that will help to inform future stages of the new local plan, including:

• The Draft Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report (PDF, 6MB), setting out the environmental, social and economic considerations against which future drafts of the new local plan will be assessed.
• A methodology for assessing the availability of land (PDF, 475KB) to inform the new local plan, and to identify what land may be available to help meet future development needs.
• A methodology for reviewing the existing hierarchy of settlements (PDF, 419KB) in the new local plan.

The report of consultation summarises the main issues raised:
