PLANNING BACKGROUND
Chorley, Preston and South Ribble councils each need to actively
involve their communities in preparing new planning policies to
guide development up to 2021.
The new planning policies will be contained in Local Development
Frameworks (LDFs) that will replace the current Chorley, Preston and
South Ribble Local Plans.
Our big planning issues will be included in the LDF Core Strategy.
Once approved, this will set the direction for all of our other
planning policies.
When we prepare our Core Strategy we need to take account of
national, regional, sub regional and local policies. All of these
can be seen in full via the links page.
Our timescales for producing the Core Strategy and the other LDF
documents are set in our Local Development Schemes (LDS). You can
read these in full via our links page.
NEXT STAGES
We want to hear what you think to the big planning issues in our
draft Core Strategy. Do our suggested issues and options make sense?
Have we missed anything out?
We think that it will take about three years (from the beginning of
2007 to the end of 2009) to finalise the Core Strategy.
We want to involve as many people as possible in thinking about the
issues and we shall hold a series of consultation events to listen
to your views throughout that period.
