Core Strategy Submitted to Secretary of State

 

The Core Strategy has been submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination.  Dates for the Pre-Hearing Meeting and Hearing have been confirmed.  Rochford’s Core Strategy is the main, overarching document of the Rochford District Local Development Framework - a collection of documents that will determine how the District develops in the future. It sets out the overall strategy for the District until 2025.

 


The Council is at an advanced stage in the production of the Core Strategy and, following pre-submission consultation in late 2009, has now submitted the document to the Secretary of State for independent examination.

 


The Secretary of State will now hold an examination to determine whether the Core Strategy is sound and legally compliant.  In addition to the Core Strategy document, the Council has submitted a number of supporting documents to the Secretary of State.  These include the representations submitted during pre-submission consultation, as well as the results of previous community involvement and other evidence.

 


An examination will be conducted by the Planning Inspectorate on behalf of the Secretary of State.

 

The Examination Hearing is scheduled to start on 11th May 2010 at 10:00, and will take place at Rayleigh Civic Suite, Rayleigh, SS6 8EB.

 

Prior to the Examination Hearing, a Pre-Hearing Meeting will take place on 24th March 2010 at Rayleigh Civic Suite, starting at 14:00.  The purpose of the Pre-Hearing Meeting is to discuss the administrative arrangements and procedures for the Examination Hearings; it is not the time when representations will be heard.  It is considered desirable that those who seek to appear at the Examination Hearing make every effort to attend the Pre-Hearing Meeting.

 

Anyone wishing to attend the Pre-Hearing Meeting or needing further information should contact the Programme Officer, Lissa Higby, on programme.officer@rochford.gov.uk
